Montreal, Canada (PRUnderground) December 9th, 2020
Canadian fintech Hardbacon has raised more than $250,000 in 24 hours on the FrontFundr equity crowdfunding platform. This is quite a turn for the Montreal based company that, on November 12, was declined for an investment by the Dragons on a segment of the Dragons’ Den broadcast on CBC.
“This is all the more significant, since last month Canadians saw the Dragons criticize us for doing equity crowdfunding,” said Julien Brault, CEO of Hardbacon. The fact that so many investors have responded proves that Canadians have seen how the Dragons like to play; they don’t welcome the rise of equity crowdfunding, as it competes with venture capital investors like themselves.”
Equity crowdfunding, which has been legal in Canada since 2016, enables retail investors to participate in the financing of private enterprises, an area previously reserved for accredited investors that were either individuals with a high net worth or institutions.
Hardbacon, the company behind the personal finance app of the same name, aims to raise a minimum of $500,000 through its round on FrontFundr. Interested investors can invest for as little as $500 in the fintech’s current round.
