Electronic notice board
Notice: The current version of the secondary trading feature is a fully functional phase made available to all Crowdberry investors following the successful completion of the NBS regulatory sandbox, in which Crowdberry Investment Platform j.s.a. participated. Both buyers and sellers will receive all important information, including the next steps, via email. The current version of the secondary trading feature may contain incomplete functionalities or errors. We therefore kindly ask for your patience while using it and encourage you to send any feedback to market@crowdberry.eu. The Crowdberry platform operates an electronic bulletin board that enables and facilitates the trading of acquired shares while also handling the administrative aspects of the transaction. The terms of the transaction, such as the number of shares and the final price, are agreed directly between the buyer and the seller. Crowdberry does not intervene in this process in any way. Buyers and sellers may agree on a different price and a different number of shares than those originally advertised. Investors subsequently inform Crowdberry of the agreed terms, and Crowdberry processes all investment documentation, including the transfer of shares through the securities broker.
What is secondary trading?
When you invest in a private company, your capital is usually tied up until the company is sold or goes public – a process that can take years. Secondary trading changes that.
- Directly between investors
- On the Crowdberry electronic notice board, investors can sell shares in companies they own before an exit. Offers and interest meet directly between investors.
- For sellers
- A chance to unlock capital earlier, without waiting for the exit.
- For buyers
- A chance to invest in attractive companies outside an investment round – even if you missed the original one.
How a trade works
Secondary trading works from both sides. Whether you already own shares or are interested in buying them, you post your listing on the notice board – and the other side responds to it. All you need is to be logged in to your profile on the platform.
