The Business Incubator eXpression Umeå enters into a cooperation agreement with FundedByMe. The collaboration aims to support eXpressions' companies in raising capital and market exposure through equity crowdfunding.
FundedByMe has previously collaborated with a number of incubators and accelerators and the outcome has proven successful. As part of the company's renewed approach to collaborations with accelerators and incubators, a cooperation agreement has been signed with eXpression Umeå, with the ambition to coach, advise and support companies that have been reviewed by the incubator. FundedByMe hopes to help companies in need of market exposure, crowdfunding, investor relations or who can otherwise benefit from FundedByMe's experience and position in the segment. The companies anticipate that approximately 5 to 8 companies per year from the incubator may qualify for crowdfunding.
"Our statistics show very clearly that companies coming to FundedByMe from incubators and accelerators are 30% more likely to reach their goals and close successful crowdfunding rounds. We have always liked the drive of companies from the North and are very excited about what this collaboration can lead to." says FundedByMe CEO Daniel Daboczy
"We work with designers, architects, filmmakers, musicians, fashion designers and creators who build their businesses through strong clusters and networks. For these entrepreneurs who build their business models by working closely with their fans, co-creators and customers, often with a large social media following, the partnership with FundedByMe is truly a perfect match. We are very much looking forward to working together to strengthen the creative industries in Sweden and internationally," Marlene Johansson, CEO eXpression Umeå.
