I’m here to share our latest Annual Report – an especially exciting one as we’ve recorded our first full year of profitability
Have a read and as usual, I’m here to take any questions, thoughts or feedback from the community to the relevant teams here. Crowdcube will be sending an update out to crowd investors soon too.
Huge thanks as always for all your support, feedback and challenge along the way!
Big things in TS section, looks like Pensions and more mortgage stuff to come, and European expansion via Ireland is on the cards, an office in Ireland is already being set up
An account for kids is coming this year (page 14, “Cementing Monzo…” section). I guess the corresponding features of Starling and Revolut have been popular?
One question; how do we get involved with future funding rounds? I’m an investor on Crowdcube and hadn’t realised funding was ongoing. Is there an opportunity for us to continue to invest?
I’d say no. The last few rounds - the ones you’ve seen - have been institutional funding rounds with no crowdfunding.
We’re close enough to IPO now that I don’t think it makes any sense for Monzo to do any further crowdfunding rounds, and I don’t think it would make any sense to invest if they did as the return would be low.
To be fair, it’s not wonderful that the share price skidded sideways for so long. I think that the main problem is that people look away for a year or two and in the back of their minds they’re Getting Rich, and then the email comes in with, like, “lol we grew a lot but you got nothing more, suck it” and… well, I sympathise. They’re just shocked .
