Linking communities through match-funding

This group of statements focuses on establishing links between communities by combining finance streams and addressing the fragmentation of the CCS access to finance landscape. It therefore emphasizes the establishment of relationships between the different investor communities through match-funding.

P14

More collaboration between crowdfunding platforms to share intelligence and access to each other’s projects and networks won’t increase the success of CCS crowdfunding campaigns.
