“We are overwhelmed with joy to see the love investors have shown us. When we planned this fundraising round, we felt that our Elite Club members, who are the strongest supporters of our P2P Financing deals, should be given opportunities to invest in Fundaztic.”
“The best platform to do this was through ECF and we naturally turned to pitchIN.”
Sam Shafie, pitchIN’s CEO said that:
“We knew from its strong pre-live interest that Fundaztic would be successfully funded and we were delighted to see the deal funded in just 38 minutes.”
“Fundaztic is also special to us because it is a fellow Registered Market Operator with the SC, albeit in the P2P Financing sector. This deal marks the very first time that two crowdfunding platforms that are regulated as Recognised Market Operators (RMO) by Securities Commission (SC) came together in a fundraising alliance.”
According to Sam, “This has boosted the awareness, trust and acceptance in the industry. We were very pleased that Fundaztic decision to raise a portion of its funds through ECF as it validated the power of equity crowdfunding. We thank them for choosing to raise on pitchIN.”
According to a press release, Fundaztic is pitchIN’s 22nd successful equity crowdfunding deal, and the latest addition to the equity crowdfunding platform’s 100% successful deal rate since their 2016 launch. Reportedly, pitchIn has raised over RM29 million for Malaysian companies to date.
