Perth-based tech startup Ecocentric Energy completed a successful round of equity crowdfunding last week, exceeding its stated minimum target to raise $500,000.
Interest in equity crowdfunding is growing locally, after Rhinohide reached its investment goal and fellow Perth-based business Tiller Rides announced more than 300 investors have expressed interest in supporting its capital raising.
Rhinohide is seeking to raise up to $500,000 via equity crowdfunding platform Equitise, after raising $791,000 from private investors earlier this year, as the vehicle protection panel business looks to launch in the US.
Techboard has named Velpic as its top trending company this fortnight, with the eLearning platform undertaking a capital raising and signing its first sporting and hospitality client.
Vehicle protective system Rhinohide has dominated Techboard's startup ranking this fortnight following a successful pitch on Channel Ten's Shark Tank, which led to a bidding war between three of the investors.
