New Zealand crowdfunding platform PledgeMe has announced it’s gearing up to launch PledgeMe.Lend, its peer-to-peer debt or crowdlending offering, in May, with the Financial Markets Authority confirming it will grant the startup a license to lend.
One of the regional leaders in the crowdfunding – specifically equity crowdfunding – space, Wellington based PledgeMe announced this week that it has raised more than NZ$360,000 to continue its growth, helping New Zealand-based creators run both project-based and equity campaigns on the platform. This is the company’s second round of capital raised through its own platform, having raised $100,000 within 23 hours in November last year.
