£4.5 billion today! I will predict,as I just love predicting that monzo’s valuation will be touching £10 billion in 12-18 months. Just count yourself fortunate that you can’t cash in 
The investors bank rolling this sale KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING

My question is will the 9.76% increase in Valuation be reflected by a 9.76% increase in the share price taking it from £14.41 to £15.82 ?
Would be nice for us to also be able to take part in this Share sale. I’m not holding my breath but it may still be possible that they may include us. I have recently had almost the same situation occur with a small number of shares that I held through crowdcube in another company. The company receieved an investment and gave crowdcube investors the option to sell some (subject to a minimum number) or all of their shares.
You’re not having a good day @AlanDoe

As a FT investor, would be great if your pension goes to it

I invested in Monzo, I don’t remember which round, it was the round that was over the top in-house app based investment thingy. What was the share price?
I did actually start my transfer with Freetrade, sat back and waited for it to happen. Then I got a message from them saying they couldn’t find my pension with ii, considering my pension is with another provider that didn’t fill me with huge confidence either haha!

You can vent, but you should also accept that others can express disagreement.
When you take part in any crowdfunding investment you’re given more than adequate warnings that a) there’s a high chance of losing all your money and b) you might only get an opportunity to sell the investment if the company gets acquired or if it moves to a public listing. Given the warnings, being upset about the company not giving you early opportunities to sell is being unreasonable in my opinion.

I’d argue they owe significantly more to their long-serving staff than to crowdfunding shareholders
I own 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of this company. I demand I am in their top 5 considerations when making decisions about ownership and shareholdings. This is a disgrace!

Just more investor entitlement. You’re also in that club by the looks of it.

As a crowdfunding investor you can be sitting on a maximum of £52k (I think) if you invested the maximum in every round. Some staff will be sitting on hundreds of thousands… I’d be peeved if I was staff and the prioritised crowdfunding investors for their £5k initial investment.
There may be paths to sell later down the line. I’m in for the mega long haul and wouldn’t sell today if I were given the option

Is it just the staff that have been there for 9 years that are being rewarded? How many of the actual founders are still there?
Just out of curiosity, what is your definition of a mega long haul - 25 years, 50 years? And why are you in it for the mega long haul - what is your real objective? I’m genuinely interested.

Can you prove that percentage?
As a collective group we own a lot more than that. As you obviously have access to the data, what is the real percentage or £ held by crowdfunding investors, rather than the purely sarcastic estimate?
I can’t wait until the IPO and then we’ll never hear from the people who invested 8 quid years and years ago and act like they cured cancer.
