For the first time, the prototyping fund Prototron 10 best teams have an opportunity to try to raise money through the equity crowdfunding platform Fundwise<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTiming is the most important factor when raising funds through the equity crowdfunding platform. If the team comes too early, they will most likely not achieve the desired goal because they lack customers and the business model is still unreliable. At the same time, it is important to begin to promote your idea and brand awareness in the earliest phase. Therefore, we are very pleased to give the Prototron TOP10 teams the opportunity to practice the art of convincing investors already at the beginning of their business development and we wish them success in raising their first money\u201d said Fundwise CEO Henri Laupmaa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
