BrewDog has exceeded its Equity for Punks crowdfunding target by £13 million, as its latest drive draws to a close.
Having raised over £23 million so far, this is BrewDog’s most successful crowdfunding round to date and currently stands as the world’s most successful equity crowdfunding raise; a record BrewDog has held since raising £19 million during its previous European raise.
By tapping into the platform’s community of seasoned investors, BrewDog has now surpassed its original £10m target by more than £13 million, with investment from over 45,000 investors.
With a further 13 days to go before the close of the round, this fifth crowdfunding drive has received more investors than the sum total of the previous four Equity for Punks crowdfunding rounds combined.
Launched in October last year, this fifth round of Equity for Punks saw the Aberdeenshire brewer set out to raise £10 million, a target it reached in under 90 days.
As a result of receiving an influx of requests for additional investment time, the raise was extended to the 15th October 2018 with shares costing £23.75 each and issued in blocks of two, with a minimum investment of two shares for £47.50.
