I wondered how so many people had beaten me to it, I literally started to invest at 10:00:03
Me too, though it took me about a minute to answer all the investor questions and specify my investment amount. I wondered for a second whether perhaps they’d included the total from any previous rounds, but £12M seemed rather more than they’d ever crowdfunded
£922,000

I believe the total will be added to the investment page later on
A million in 96 minutes?
The correlation is spooky …
Nicely done
Hot coral thermometer FTW
Said 6 days to go earlier and now says 8 days
The date that was being used to calculate “6 days to go” was wrong, so we fixed it. The round closes at 10am on December 12.
I was debating investing, but for the sake of round numbers, I bought some to round up my number of bought shares
(Ignoring options for now )
Well I have an email but no banner…anyone else?
Updated your app?
Yeah it was, but fixed with reinstall- thanks!
Do you remember some of the questions Justin?
They’re fairly basic ones, such as:
-
Do most startups fail, or succeed and go onto making huge profits for their investors?
-
Do startups usually pay dividends for the first few years?
-
If a startup fails, are the co-founders obliged by law to reimburse investors their investment, or will investors lose their stake?
-
If a startup issues more shares, will existing investors see their stake as a percentage of the company increase or decrease?
etc
Not difficult questions to answer, but you need to pay attention in order not to give a wrong response - that would potentially delay your application (which will matter on Wednesday)
These numbers seem to be in centi-pence … interesting!
That’s what I think I’m going to do. Keeps things tidy y’know. Good round number of illiquid risk is the best kind of illiquid risk!
Relatedly, something to note is there’s no rush for current investors to re-invest in these 48h as it definitely won’t sell out … which makes the current £1.1m even more impressive!
Over £1.1m raised already seems like pretty good going for the first two hours (a cool £7,600 per minute by my calculation)
Is there anything to stop existing investors filling the entire round before it gets opened to other users?
