If April is financial literacy month, May should be investment confidence month
20/05/2025
April is officially financial literacy month, something we sorely lack in Slovakia. However, if you have even thought about investing, that is a good sign. And if you are already investing, we are thrilled. Once you have mastered the financial basics, it is time to move on: start growing your money. May is the ideal month to take that step – confidently, responsibly, and toward opportunities that channel capital into the real economy rather than anonymous funds where your money will disappear like a drop in the ocean.
Get more music out of your money
Investing is no longer just for millionaires in suits. Today, almost anyone can invest in projects that make sense not only financially but also in terms of value. The Crowdberry platform offers a unique opportunity to invest in proven Slovak and Czech companies and high-quality real estate. It is no surprise that it is the largest crowd investing platform in Slovakia with more than 11,600 registered investors.
And it's not just about returns. It's about investment confidence – the ability to make thoughtful, informed decisions that take into account not only returns, but also personal values, the local economy, and transparency.
What is crowdinvesting and why does it make sense?
Crowdinvesting is a form of collective investment in which several investors combine their funds and invest them jointly in a specific entity, whether it is a company or real estate. Unlike traditional investing through funds or shares on the stock exchange, crowdinvesting is transparent, targeted, and direct—you know exactly where your money is going.
Key benefits:
- Accessibility – you can invest even with smaller amounts.
- Control – you choose what you invest in.
- Meaningfulness – you support specific companies that you know or that have an impact on the region where you live.
Local. Verified. Unique.
But also real estate, biotechnology, healthcare, and other investment opportunities that you can choose according to your investment appetite. Crowdberry is not just an investment platform – it is a community of investors and entrepreneurswho believe in the power of local successes that have the potential to become global. Companies that join the platform must undergo a thorough screening, financial analysis, and potential assessment.
What does “local” mean in Crowdberry's terms?
- These are local companies and properties operating in Slovakia or the Czech Republic
- You are familiar with many of them – brands, services, and products that you actually use – such as GymBeam, Freshlabels, and dozens more.
- You support the economy where you live – your capital stays at home, but works just as effectively (or more effectively) as in global funds.
And what about “verified”?
- Every investment opportunity is thoroughly analyzed by the Crowdberry team – from financial indicators to business models.
- Investors receive detailed information, regular reports and have direct contact with the platform team.
- No “mass” offer – only select opportunities that you won't find anywhere else.
Two forms of investing: Choose what suits you best
Crowdberry allows you to invest in two ways:
- Co-ownership – you become a co-owner of a company or real estate. You participate in its growth, appreciation, and return on investment (e.g., when selling the company or real estate).
- Investment loans – you provide companies with capital in the form of a loan, which they repay at a pre-agreed rate. Fixed interest, fixed maturity, clear terms and conditions. This allows you to better plan your return on investment and cash flow.
Invest confidently. Invest with Crowdberry.
We all want our money to work for us. But it's even better when it works meaningfully. Crowdberry lets you invest with a clear goal, confidence, and transparency. You can become part of companies that are changing the market, supporting the local economy, and bringing real value—not just to investors, but to society as a whole.
