Tabletech and Burrets Bcna raise equity through Crowdcube

Crowdcube is the leading Crowdequity Platform in Europe and the largest in Spain. In the first 10 months of 2015 it has channelled €2M thanks to 915 investors. In the last month Tabletech and Burrets Barcelona have secured funding through the platform.

Tabletech is a technology company that has developed a digital menu, which allows restaurant and hotel customers to visualise the dishes, products and services offered in the establishment where they are and order them, in a quick, simple and visual way; the user can also make the payment from the system. Tabletech also allows the establishment to obtain customer information, segment, control stock and even send personalised product offers, thus optimising costs and revenues.

This company has received €67,200 in which 25 investors have participated with an average of €2,700 each.

With this investment, the technology company will continue with its growth policy and its international expansion plan. It is currently present in more than 30 establishments in Spain, Norway, Panama and Mexico and has recently closed several collaboration agreements with other Spanish and international distributors. The company expects to triple its turnover in 2016.

Burrets Barcelona wants to become a Tex-Mex food chain, healthy, organic and at a good price, and to this end has closed an investment round of €182,000. Burrets will open its first location in Barcelona, on Avenida Paral-lel, number 184, which is scheduled to open in March 2016. This is the second round of Burrets, which in August already raised €77,100 from private investors.

"In October of this year Crowdcube obtained the accreditation as an alternative financial institution from the Generalitat de Catalunya, through ACCIÓwhich makes co-investment with public funds possible. This opens the door to initiatives such as the London Co-Investment Fund, a consortium between Crowdcube and the Government of London, which is already investing €6.5 million of public funds in technology companies published on the platform, and on the same terms as Crowd" says Diego Gutierrez of Abra-Invest.
