BUSINESS MODEL
Europe’s rst equity crowd funding platform specialising in life sciences, now expanding to the UK, Australia and Asia. 13 successful campaigns to date raising 4M from 720 + individual investors. Promoted the rst life science equity crowdfunding campaign to exceed southern Europe.
Limited investor access in highly lucrative Biotech sector due to large ticket sizes and requirement for technical expertise. Entrepreneurs spend excessive time fundraising & need for more seedstage nance. Generalist platforms lack credibility. or specialist knowledge Crowdfunding expertise blended with a life science grounding is limited, and the existing platforms, VC’s or Business Angel networks are simply not scalable

Based on an exclusive & scalable system of expert investment analysis.
Capital Cell generates revenue from charging campaign fees as a % of total funds raised through the platform. In addition, as traction is gained in the UK, we expect to charge a campaign set-up fee payable regardless of the campaigns success plus carry income locked in by way of campaign agreements. Capital Cell is also growing the BioExpert Network which is a community of life science experts who analyse and provide feedback on all potential campaigns. This makes Capital Cell unique as we provide real “value add” to the entrepreneur bringing the campaign and we have plans to monetise this network.
