Crowdcubing - any advice?

I'm quite interested in "investing" in Wiltons London who are currently crowdcubing but I'm quite naive about the way it works. I understand that if I had invested in the likes of Brewdog I would have been on a winner, but was that a one-off?
It would be a small investment - but what are the advantages of doing this?

I had the opportunity to invest in Fever Tree as a start up. Didn't, and regret that now... Hindsight...

From my limited understanding, BrewDog shares are not yet publicly traded. If you did invest at the start, you've done well "on paper" but not in terms of "cash" as you can't actually sell your shares.

I think it will be the same with this company. It could be years before you are able to cash in your investment.

If you support their ethos, think their business model is worth investing in and you have cash you can potentially afford to lose - why not?

OP, I would advise you to be very careful. I invested on that platform and made a loss. The company (ovivo mobile) packed up. No redress. It later became apparent that the company had been struggling whilst raising funds.

I forgot to add, there will likely be further rounds of funding which will dilute your shares, so do your research and be careful.

Thanks both. Plenty to think about.
