SMEs in Europe have increasingly turned to equity financing rather than loans due to banking crises and higher interest rates on loans. However, most SMEs cannot easily access capital markets due to high costs and regulatory requirements. CrowdDesk provides a digital platform that enables SMEs to independently raise up to €8 million in equity or mezzanine financing online without a prospectus, through a simple and flexible investment process. Their technology embeds an "Invest Now" button that can be used by various customers like banks, financial companies, and SMEs themselves to digitize capital raising.
