A crowdfunding platform for Sports and Entertainment. We aim to make ThrillCapital the worldwide leader in fan based equity investment and trading for Sports and Entertainment, enabling fans to invest in and support their passion across the Sports and Entertainment spectrum.
1. CrowdFunding and beyond for Sports and Entertainment. If you are going to
Crowdfund, you should go to where the crowds are. And we have been giving fans
a chance to “own a piece of the action” since 2007 - way before any other
crowdfunding platform. But what we do goes beyond crowdfunding.
We are a one stop shop for Sports and Entertainment funding. We operate
across the funding spectrum from pledge-based crowdfunding (ThrillPledge.com
soon to be launched), to private equity, to fully compliant public offers.
Think a Sports and Entertainment Investment Bank with a focus on fan
based funding. Our big hairy aim is to be a “kinder gentler” Goldman Sachs
meets IMG meets Facebook.
Innovative Funding Solutions. We provide our clients with compliant,
innovative funding solutions and deal structures that are customised to suit their
needs in a way that maximises their appeal to their backers and investors.
Diverse Client Base. Our clients include web based startups, sports IP
companies, Team owners, Race drivers and Film makers.
Emotional and Financial Returns. Emotional returns and having “skin in the
game” are often more important than financial returns to our clients’ backers and
investors. So while our aim is to give all of our investors a great “insider, fly on the
wall” experience, all of our equity opportunities, however risky, must also have the
genuine potential to realize financial returns.
Empowering the fan base. Fan based funding solutions allow the financial
backing of knowledgeable fans to become an important determinant of career
success.
Innovative Sponsorship Model. Corporate Sponsors can act as underwriters for
ThrillCapital promoted offers, receiving the same degree of exposure as they would
from traditional sponsorship but with the chance to recoup some of their spend.
Full Disclosure of Risk. We are committed to full disclosure of the risk in our
equity based opportunities. While the financial risk involved should be self evident
and is part of the fun – hence our name - we stress the need for discretionary
spend only, especially to our non-accredited investors. We don’t want our investors
raiding the Christmas fund to invest with us in the next Le Mans champion!
Commitment to both compliance and change. We are committed to complete
compliance in all jurisdictions where we make offers. However, we are also
committed to shaking up the Financial Services sector, agitating for regulatory
change that will not only facilitate Sports and Entertainment funding but also
benefit the wider economy.
Strong International focus. Our clients hail from all over the world - from
Bolivia to NYC to London to New Zealand. Our partners do too.
Partnership. We partner with innovative financial services firms and Sports and
Entertainment Insiders worldwide. Our offerings potentially provide a unique point
of difference to our financial services partners.
Secondary Marketplace. Our trading facility provides our investors with liquidity,
transparency and a mechanism for price discovery (which is also useful for
sponsors).
Ongoing Commitment to our clients and their backers. We can take our
Sports and Entertainment clients from their grass roots beginnings through to their
professional debut and beyond. We look after our clients’ backers too. Our
Investor Relations Solutions, Secondary Market and Share Registry Services mean
that we take care of our investors long after they have made their initial
investment.
