In 2009, Trampoline Systems has become the world’s first technology business to raise finance through crowdfunding. The company has announced its program to raise total of £1 million spread over four rounds.
Trampoline Systems works closely with legal advisors to ensure
its crowdfunding process complies with Financial Services Authority (FSA)
regulations. The company is only inviting expressions of interest from people
certified as high net worth individuals or as sophisticated investors, plus
Trampoline’s existing shareholders.
