Brewer and retailer Windsor & Eton Brewery has made a successful start to its second equity crowd fund on the crowdfunding platform Seedrs.
The business is offering up to 2.17% equity, giving a pre-money valuation of £9m. Launching the campaign privately, more than £215,000 has been invested within the first 24 hours, exceeding the initial target of £200,000.
Chairman and co-founder Will Calvert reacted to the news:
“We are delighted with the response from both existing and new investors. Fourteen years after we brought craft brewing back to the heart of this historic brewing town, we so pleased that our supporters remain as excited about our plans as we are.”
The money raised will go into three areas: a new pub or bar, increased brewing flexibility and capacity and a first brand building campaign. In return, as well as shares, investors will receive rewards.
Managing Director, Jon Radford explains more about the rewards:
“We are very conscious that economically it’s tough for many people. That’s why some of our rewards include money that can be spent in our taproom and bars. It means that people can enjoy immediate benefits of becoming a Windsor & Eton Brewery shareholder”.
On Monday 15th July, Windsor & Eton’s crowdfunding will move into Public Phase and be open to all investors.
