About StockCrowd

StockCrowd is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that provides a comprehensive fundraising platform for a diverse client base that includes non-profits, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, and cultural entities. Founded in 2015 by CEO Sergi Pallarès, the firm aims to digitize and streamline the process of raising capital. Pallarès, a Telecommunications Engineer with a PDG from IESE Business School, brings over two decades of experience from the tech industry, having founded several technology companies prior to StockCrowd. This background in technology and entrepreneurship informs the company's core mission.

The company's primary offering is a cloud-based software that enables organizations to create and embed their own customized fundraising channels directly onto their websites and other digital platforms. This allows clients to manage donation campaigns, pre-sale of new products, and even equity crowdfunding with greater autonomy, bypassing traditional intermediaries. The platform is designed as an all-in-one solution, featuring customizable landing pages, multiple payment method integrations (including credit card, PayPal, and bank transfers), and automated communication tools to engage with donors. The business model is based on a recurring subscription fee for access to its software, with different tiers of service available.

StockCrowd's technology facilitates various types of fundraising campaigns, from non-profit donations and social projects to for-profit activities like loan campaigns and capital increases. For instance, a non-profit can launch a campaign for a specific cause, while a business could use the platform to test a new product via pre-sales or secure funding for international expansion. The company emphasizes providing its clients with full control over their data and donor relationships. A related entity, StockCrowd IN, is a licensed participatory financing platform authorized by Spain's National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), which connects companies with investors for equity and debt financing projects. This positions StockCrowd as a key enabler for organizations seeking to leverage their communities for financial support, with clients having raised over 200 million euros through the platform.
