Crowdfunding now: apps for conscious spenders and creatives

Based in our very own London, NOQ is embracing digital to facilitate a healthy future for the events industry. No one is quite sure what the sector will look like come June, but by implementing NOQ’s cashless and contactless digital ordering system, venues can make things quicker and easier for punters.

NOQ’s software was used at 190+ events in 2020, and has been proven to reduce queues and improve overall experience – whether at festivals, concerts or exhibitions.

The service is currently crowdfunding on Seedrs, and is at around 85% of its £200K target with comfortably over a month to go.

Another one for the creatives out there, meet Daisie – which is ‘bringing creators together’ and currently overfunding a convertible round on Crowdcube. With circa £450K in the bank, plus an additional $5M in venture funding, Daisie is an online space for artists to learn, connect and lay the foundations of their careers.

The creative education champion has already helped 170,000 users, and boasts board members hailing from the likes of MasterClass, Google, Tesla and Depop. It’s got a pretty hefty valuation as well as an admirable mission.
