Axol
SyndicateRoom is a UK online equity investment platform, providing multi-sector private investments and running the first passive Enterprise Investment Scheme fund. The company is headquartered in Cambridge, and authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (formerly the FSA).SyndicateRoom initially launched itself as a crowdfunding platform for high-net-worth and sophisticated investors, inventing and operating through the investor-led model of equity crowdfunding. Notable companies that have raised on the platform include: Gun Shy, the first-ever equity crowdfunded Hollywood film, directed by Simon West; Mill Residential REIT, the world's first crowdfunded IPO; and Axol Biosciences, which uses Nobel Prize-winning technology to produce stem cells from human blood and skin cells that can then be turned into cells for scientific research, potentially removing the need for animal testing.
In 2016 SyndicateRoom was the first crowdfunding platform to offer public market investment opportunities after being accepted as a member company of the London Stock Exchange, although it has since closed down the public markets area of its platform.Approximately a third of the companies that list on SyndicateRoom are from the life sciences industry, an unusual statistic given that the vast majority of crowdfunded businesses tend to be B2C (Business to Consumer).
