Investing in the USA

I live in the USA…can I invest?

I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think so. As the blog points out, you need to make your pledge through the app. I think this process was deliberately chosen to ensure that only Monzo users can invest - other Crowdcube members can’t invest. Since you can’t sign up as a user if you live outside the UK, it looks like you won’t be able to get involved this time.

Still US expansion is in the plans so maybe next time!

This is correct: you can’t invest from the US.

But you don’t need to make your pledge through the app: http://crowdcube.com/monzo

Is there any list of countries that are eligible to invest on Crowdcube? Specifically Austria would interest me, as I live there. I’m guessing I am eligible since both Austria and UK are part of EU (atleast for now, until brexit). Thanks

This is the best I could find on the Crowdcube website.
