Our take
Individual investors face a number of challenges when accessing markets. The majority of these problems stem from issues of scale. How can individual investors compete for influence and ensure they get a seat at the table when their counterparts are large investment firms?
Furthermore, individual investment can incur personal costs unless it is being done on a very large scale, presenting barriers to investment straightaway.
PrimaryBid solves this problem using technology that we take for granted today but would not have been available just ten years ago. Investors move through PrimaryBid in order to make personal decisions in where their money goes, but are represented at the aggregate level, meaning they maintain influence. This also means firms are held accountable, encouraging good governance.
This model has already attracted significant investment, and PrimaryBid have raised almost fifty million pounds already. Their impact has already been felt in the City, with over fifty companies appointing individual shareholders to their boards.
