What is Crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a collective investment in a business or product. There are four types of crowdfunding:
-
Equity crowdfunding
Startups and Scaleups in need of equity and in exchange offer investors a stake in the company.
-
Loan crowdfunding
Projects in need of a loan (Green bonds, social bonds, SMEs, real estate projects, etc) repay their lenders over a period of time.
-
Donation crowdfunding
Charities collect non-repayable donations for a good cause.
-
Reward crowdfunding
Campaigns that are looking for funding and in return offer a non-monetary reward to contributors.
Spreds.com is an investment platform that focuses on equity and loan crowdfunding for campaigns that are planning to raise between €50,000 and €1,000,000 thanks to various types of investors (BAs, VCs, Family Offices, Funds, etc). Spreds’ complimentary investors management and governance tools can be found on spreds.pro.

The Spreds Story
Spreds was created in July 2011 under the name MyMicroInvest by four professionals motivated by idealist principles. Since then, the platform has experienced many changes, but the biggest change since its creation happened at the beginning of 2018. After a long and fruitful collaboration of more than 6 years, MyMicroInvest and the investment fund Inventures (created in parallel) decided to pursue their individual paths. Sharing until then the same legal entity, the same CEO and the same team, the companies reached a level of maturity that enabled them to evolve separately.
MyMicroInvest took advantage of this decision to change its name. By renaming the company Spreds, we chose to make our strategy clearer, simpler and more powerful than ever before. Spreds’ mission is to finance entrepreneurial dreams, to feed the European job market and to motivate people to collectively support tomorrow’s companies.
