Crowdberry in 2021

2021 was a year full of opportunities. Czechs and Slovaks showed that despite all the challenges, they still want to keep developing their businesses and the world around them. To see how, look at the numbers from our platform. Last year, private investors stumped up the most investment in our history for successful Czech and Slovak companies and real estate – over €16 million (CZK 400 million). In total, Crowdberry had €60 million of capital under management and 42 companies in its portfolio by the end of 2021. In addition, Crowdberry partner Peter Bečár oversaw saw the creation of a qualified investor fund focused on real estate. There was even a record increase in registrations on the Crowdberry platform and in our team members.

In 2021, we successfully closed 10 investment opportunities on the crowdberry.eu platform. The total amount of invested capital reached over €16 million (CZK 400 million), with one in three investors putting their trust and capital in two or more companies. The portfolio of funded companies was mostly those focused on technology (such as Artzenal, nettle.ai, SEC Technologies), but also included e-commerce and booking platforms and their related infrastructure (Footshop, Boataround, isklad.eu), biotechnology (Glycanostics) and real estate (KLM Piešt'any).
