Cleantech crowdfunding in Germany – invest in Carzapp and Changers now
While many cleantech VCs are holding back their money when early stage startups knock on their door, crowdfunding is another financing solution with added marketing value. In fact, cleantech crowdfunding is happening today in Germany. Starting at 14:30 and going on until the funding limit is reached, German residents can invest in p2p car sharing made by Carzapp and social solar device charging made by Changers. Both Carzapp and Changers want to raise €250K selling 10% of their smart green startup with the help of a profit participating loan (partiarisches Nachrangdarlehen) managed by Seedmatch, Germany’s crowdfunding pioneer. Update: Within 3 weeks Carzapp raised €250K from 350 investors including us and successfully closed this crowdfunding round. Cleantech crowdfunding rocks!
