I'm not overly familiar with Crowd Cube but I believe it's one of those social crowd funding things. Someone pitches a business product and Joe Rich fronts up the money to invest, with no guarantee they will see their money again...
Zing Zing is a teeny Chinese food company which prides itself on no MSG and fresh produce etc. I've eaten there and whilst the food is pretty nice, I can't say it's particularly mind blowing, although their customer care is excellent!
Anyhoo, they launched a crowd funding thing to help them expand. They were asking for £350,000, I watched as it went up bit by bit, but not at all sure if they'd come close to their target before the deadline (at which point nothing goes ahead if it is not met).
It closed at 1.6million!!! I'm not sure how the owners planned it but I'm fairly certain they didn't expect anything like that.
And from what I gather, probably a good number of the people who pledged their money, hadn't even eaten there before!?
It struck me, that there are so many people out their willing to support and help out financially and in whatever way they can to help dreams come true.
Obviously, it's not completely altruistic! But the fact that so many people came forward with so much money, when there is a decent chance that they could lose it, really is quite remarkable.
The Universe is the same, and even better- it's resources are infinite! Just get into alignment and flow!
All is well!!!
Happy Zing-ing!!!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
