Why CrowdedHero
What you get
Receive assistance at each stage
Once you have completed our extensive selection process, our team of experts will assist you with your presentations, marketing strategies, and legal matters. Additionally, the CrowdedHero platform will become an essential tool for you to connect with investors, receive statistics and updates, and organise reporting for more effective management.
Direct and indirect investments
While larger investors seek direct participation in the company they invest in, smaller ones become consolidated through an SPV with an appointed trustee. This is a great model to effectively deal with any type of strategic action — board decisions, meetings or an exit.
Equity or debt financing
Depending on your business requirements, CrowdedHero can offer investments that will be categorised in the balance sheet as equity, or a business loan. Once we have a clearer insight into your business objectives, we can tailor our offerings to suit your needs.
Transparency is fundamental
We establish our relationship on transparency and collaborate closely with businesses to support their success. Our terms and cost structure offer the same clarity for companies looking for investment.
Brand recognition
Thanks to CrowdeHero international investors network your brand will be acknowledged across the EU. In addition to the added marketing value using a CrowdedHero platform, brands also will obtain market feedback and validation.

In general, investment attraction for the company takes place in four stages:
- The first step towards attracting investment is filling out an application. This can be done by clicking on the Apply button at the top of the section of this website and specifying the necessary information about the company and investment campaign goals, as well as your contact information;
- Once we have received and examined the application, we invite the company's management to an interview. During it, using our experience, we will evaluate the most important financial criteria, such as the possibility for investors to receive dividends and the probability that a complete sale of the company's shares will take place;
- After the interview, an in-depth legal and financial analysis will be carried out, attracting experts of the specific industry who will be able to objectively assess the prospects of the business idea;
- At the final stage, CrowdedHero's investment committee will vote for the admission of your company to the platform.
The duration of the evaluation of the application is five days, while the duration of the financial and legal analysis depends on the quality and volume of the information you submit. In general, the process will not take more than 20 days.

Fundrasing is available for start-ups regardless of the industry they operate in. The main condition is that CrowdedHero does not support high-risk business ideas. Companies not only from the Baltic States, but also companies registered in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) can submit an application to receive investments.
It is essential that the company has a business plan in place, which indicates how the investments raised will help to double its value within five years. The company must be open to pay out no less than 50% of the net profit in dividends, as well as be ready to sell the company completely in the future.
There are many ways to raise capital. Here are some of the aspects that make investors attraction on the CrowdedHero platform stand out:
- Very fast and convenient application, as well as simplified all other processes;
- The possibility of obtaining both crowd investments and investments from professional investors;
- Various types of support from our expert team;
- Transparent conditions in every aspect;
- Additional visibility and contacts.
CrowdedHero is an international platform, so you can expect that your business idea will be seen by investors not only from Latvia, but also from many other countries.
At CrowdedHero, we understand that funding is vital for young entrepreneurs to start or continue a business, so we offer our clients to invest not only in established companies, but also in new companies that have only recently started their journey in the business world. So we make sure that:
- support is received by companies that, very likely, would not have received it otherwise;
- projects that are currently unknown, but very likely will bring significant profit in the long term (although the fact should be taken into account that the chances of losing the invested funds are also quite high, so you should not rely on this aspect);
- an innovative product or service that has not been found in the market before is likely to enter the market.
These are some of the most important, but by no means the only, reasons why support for start-ups is so important.
A crowdfunding campaign can take from 30 to 45 days. The project owner should provide detailed information about his company, team, products or services, market, scalability options and investment plan. All information is gathered together to develop a sales pitch which is then published on the platform. CrowdedHero makes every effort to attract investors, support fund collection and complete the share registration process.
Equity offer depends on your company’s pre-money evaluation, new share issuance and a share premium. Companies issuing new shares should keep in mind their investment plan. For example, if a company issues 10% of new shares, and the pre-money evaluation is EUR 1.8 million, you could offer 10% of your equity for EUR 200 000 (post-money valuation is EUR 2 million).
The preliminary review takes 5 days. Due Diligence procedure is directly up to the speed and quality of presented documents and information by the project owner. The full process should not take longer than 20 days.
A pool of investors will be represented by a lead investor. The lead investor is brought into the project owners’ company supervisory board. Day-to-day operations are up to the company’s management, but all major business decisions are made during board meetings where the lead investor takes part and represents the investor pool’s interests and rights.
We focus of growth companies that have a clear investment plan. You should have a well-developed plan of how attracted capital will help to double company value in the next 5 years. Shareholders should be openminded about a company exit. You should be ready to distribute at least 50% of net profit in the form of the dividends.
Company should be ready to provide the following:
- Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) or similar
- Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to the official state company house register
- Full KYC on each shareholder and board member
- Corporate structure description and full corporate document package
- Audited balance sheets for the 3 previous years
- Cashflow statement, income statement, general ledger and management accounts
We believe that all businesses are unique and have the potential to provide our investors with profitable investments, so we do not focus on any specific industry. However, we do not onboard or tobacco production companies, or any high-risk businesses.
