‘Millennial’ investment platform more than doubles crowdfunding target with £1.04m

Investment platform tickr has exceeded the £500k target of its crowdfunding campaign by more than double.

The crowdfunding campaign, which launched on Seedrs in April, has now closed, securing a total of £1.04m from 1040 investors.

Launched onto the iOS market in December 2018 on iOS and Android in February 2019, tickr aims to provide socially-conscious investment options for investors.

The firm’s investment portfolio includes a dozen ETFs which prioritise themes such as climate change and equality.

Tom McGillycuddy, co-founder of tickr commented: “We are delighted that over 1000 Seedrs investors share our vision of impact investing.

“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.

“The funds raised will allow us to accelerate our growth plans and reach our ambition to be the leader in impact investing for the next generation of investors.”
