Sustainable living e-commerce marketplace The Clean Collective is raising capital using equity crowdfunding, giving you the opportunity to own a piece of this fast-growing conscious business.
The plan is to build an app that will act as your sustainable shopping assistant, and a personal development platform to guide your journey to a healthier, more eco-friendly lifestyle, assisted by some of the biggest names in wellness and sustainability.
In less than two years, they’ve become the fastest-growing marketplace in the region for sustainable purchases and created the strictest standard for safe and sustainable consumption in Australia.
What is equity crowdfunding?
Equity crowdfunding is a new way to invest that enables anyone over the age of 18 to fund early-stage companies in return for equity. It helps companies like The Clean Collective access the capital they require to grow while giving you the opportunity to invest in a business you’re passionate about.
Why crowdfunding?
