‘Millennial’ investment app launches crowdfunding campaign

Investment app tickr is today launching a crowdfunding campaign through equity platform Seedrs to drive ongoing growth and enhance its proposition.

Based in London, the company specialises in digital investment management, offering portfolios in the climate change, ‘disruptive technology’ and equality sectors.

Following its launch onto the iOS market in December 2018 on iOS and Android in February 2019, tickr aims to develop new features such as a visual newsfeed, as well as grow its user base.

Building on initial funding of almost £1m last year led by Dutch venture capital firm SLJ Investment Partners B.V, the crowdfunding campaign will enable the company to grow, having already expanded to a team of 11 with offices in London and Liverpool.

Tom McGillycuddy, tickr co-founder, commented: “We’ve been amazed with the uptake so far and we’re confident this crowdfunding campaign will take us one step further in realising our ambitions.

“Millennials are twice as likely to invest in a portfolio that reflects their values and beliefs, but it’s still the wide held view that investing into companies doing good and promoting change in the world is difficult or even impossible.

“tickr was built to smash this perception by providing a simple and forward-thinking way to invest in truly transformative companies combating social and environmental injustices, while potentially earning strong returns on their cash.”
