Winners Fund - The First Crowdfunding Platform in Greece

The first Greek crowdfunding platform is soon expected to begin operating in Greece. According to reports, Winners Fund is going to allow a large number of individuals to invest a small amount of money in innovative ideas in exchange for shares in the companies that are going to be created.

The Winners Fund is set to begin operation with three new highly innovative businesses, namely: AlgaeFarms, the SpreeadeHipp and Doxato Farm., all of which are looking for funding.

Over the past few years, online platforms became widely popular since they began permitting individuals to "pick up" funds for an idea, or to invest in young entrepreneurs who believe that can provide future returns. Since 2010, Winners Fund, has raised more than $ 10 billion through crowd funding.

In Greece, there have been similar attempts (e.g. to repay part of the Greek debt); yet the framework hasn’t been equally friendly. The founders of the Winners Fund claim that the platform works with increased protection of individuals who plan to invest money.
