The Crowdberry investment platform has successfully closed four investment campaigns, with companies raising more than €4 million in fresh capital. Investors have provided funds to Pohoda Festival, Unimus by Netcore, Expandeco and Flexdog through the platform. Two companies raised capital in the form of loans in exchange for interest income paid to investors, the other two allowed investors to become co-owners and share in the growth of their value.
Pohoda Festival gained the trust of investors: in turn investors gained interest income
The investment campaign for Pohoda Festival was the first opportunity on the Crowdberry platform to enable investors to provide financing in the form of credit (loans) at a fixed rate of interest.
In the case of Pohoda, it was a secured investment opportunity with a 9.7% interest rate, paid semi-annually and with a loan maturity of up to three years.
Through the Crowdberry platform, 96 investors provided a loan to the festival in the total amount of €671,100.
The investors were convinced by the brand itself, which is known and loved by hundreds of thousands, has the trust of major sponsors and the interest of fans, who also purchased limited edition lifetime tickets.
"Thanks to debt financing and funds from private investors, the festival is able to overcome the challenges caused by the pandemic, increase the quality of the event and expand its capacity by 10%. This is the first change of this kind since 2010," says Michal Kaščák, founder of the Pohoda festival.
"We are planning major innovations in 2025. We want to significantly improve communication towards visitors, bring new festival buildings, improve the architecture and ensure an attractive lineup," adds Kaščák.
