Startups
The team at PledgeMe is a creative, diverse bunch of people who have a common goal of helping people fund the things they care about. We care about social enterprises (and identify as one ourselves!), impact investment, helping small to medium sized businesses grow, and helping people achieve their dreams through funding. We provide a platform to raise capital and help people connect with their crowd to turn them into investors, lenders, and financial supporters of your project or business. Anyone who has a goal which needs funding and who has a crowd who want to support that goal can crowdfund, from companies and communities, to artists and performance groups.
In New Zealand, people can pledge to campaigns to get shares in a company (PledgeMe.Equity), rewards (PledgeMe.Project), or loan notes (PledgeMe.Lend) (all are dependent on the campaign reaching its minimum target).
In Australia, people can pledge to get company shares, and therefore become co-owners of the company they have pledged to if it reaches its minimum target.
To date, almost $50 million has been pledged through the PledgeMe platform to help people fund the things they care about.
