One more special announcement as I promise to go back to general ramblings for the following blog!
Over the past month or so, we have been working with James Watt and his team to pull together a brand-new multi million pound equity investment competition.
The Next Unicorn.
In partnership with James, we launched our hunt for Europe’s next billion-pound business as together, we genuinely believe that entrepreneurship has the power to change the world for the better.
James is committing to invest ￡5M of his own cash into the top three businesses whittled down by an expert investment committee including Matt Cooper , Codie A. Sanchez & Evelyn McDonald .
The 3 winners will be flown out to Las Vegas to receive the investment from James and also announce the launch of their crowdfunding rounds.
James pioneered equity crowdfunding alongside Crowdcube and Seedrs in the very early years with Equity for Punks, and he is passionate about allowing everyone to invest in business.
It's a key part of this programme for James, and we are thrilled to support him on that mission!
So...millions of social impressions later and over 750 incredible business applications, we are now down to the sharp end.
The final 20!
We are now aiming to open up “early access” to these top 20 companies ASAP to soft launch their crowdfunds ahead of the in-person pitch day with James and the wider investment committee on the 15th/16th June.
You can follow along via a dedicated landing page for The Next Unicorn which will update as we go!
I've really enjoyed this one and I'm super excited for the next stages!
Watch this space...
See you next time.

Lead Innovator - Hypuljet Ltd UK
1 年31 Reactions namely an "who's who at Crowdcube" I was not able to enter HyPulJet Ltd as we are a development company with a Hydrogen project - our future Business plan is to Lease IP and Trade Secrets to Auto Makers -e.aviation - e-Agriculture our planned raise with Crowdcube is in the planning stage - so there is no chance of a quick major increase in share price - until we reach the "On the Road Proof of Concept Electric Vehicle" - there is nothing of substantial value. HyPulJet Integrated Hydrogen Power Unit /Power Provider - central feature - concept for H2 and O2 Combustion Internal Steam Pulse jets Rotary Engine as generator - we intend H2-O2 Fuel production as part of the unit - a Flow type fuel system - matched to the needs of the engine -this is made more than possible by J3xE - Generator Magnifier - same generator -same engine - same engine speeds - over 40% increase in genrator output. Rather than a billion $$$ in share value - I would prefer to see 300,000,000 New or Retrofit petrol/diesel vehicles by 2030-31 with 80% running on HyPulJet IHPU and a Tank of water (deionised). Best of Luck to the 20 Finalists - I will be keeping an eye on how it works out.
