Techcelerate Crowd Funding
Crowd funding is gaining popularity as an alternative financing vehicle for businesses of all types. It is a collective effort of individuals who network and pool their resources through the Internet to support efforts initiated by startups, artists, campaigners, etc. For the first time, Techcelerate is hosting a crowd funding event in Manchester to bring the key providers, so that more companies as well as individual investors can benefit.

Darren Westlake, CEO & Co-Founder, Crowdcube
Founded in 2010, Crowdcube is the next generation of business investment. It is a new way to fund start-ups and business expansion by crowdfunding for equity, giving entrepreneurs a platform to connect with ordinary people and raise venture capital. By attracting lots of investors who invest smaller amounts of money into a person, company, product or idea you can bypass the traditional ways of raising venture finance.
A serial entrepreneur, Darren started his first company aged 26 and has since built and sold two companies. His background is in telecoms, technology and internet. He has a bee in his bonnet about solving the lack of financing options for small businesses!
