bumboo

It is important that we remain a company that serves its community, and what better way to do it than to have you involved in shaping our future. The next phase for bumboo involves reaching more customers, growing the team so that we can become b-corp registered and developing more sustainable products.

 To do this, we need your support. 

Equity crowdfunding is a common way early growth stage companies (who are not listed on a stock market) raise investment. Anyone over the age of 18 can become a shareholder and own equity in that company. If the company grows in size as a result of the investment, its shares can become more valuable. Then, in a liquidity event such as a merger, company sale or IPO the shareholder can benefit from the investment. Please note there is the risk of the company decreasing in value and investors can lose some or all of their investment.

Yes, we will be raising through Crowdcube.

The Pitch Deck will be available on our Crowdcube page once live.

Anyone over the age of 18 can invest.

You can invest from as little as £10 to £400,000!

We will provide details of the raise once you have registered your interest either via crowdcube or by joining our mailling list.

bumboo is the latest brand created by Root7 Platform. Root7 Platform was launched in 2010 to create brands that ‘do good for people and the planet'. 

Generally the EIS or SEIS schemes are for companies under 7 years old. As Root7 Platform is an established company that has been running since 2010 it is not eligible for these schemes. 

If you invest in us, it will be a long-term capital investment. We will use the funds to grow bumboo and in return, after a liquidity event such as an IPO of the company, or if the company is acquired by another company you may make a return on your investment. In addition to equity, we have also developed an exclusive rewards package to say thank you for joining us on our mission.

Once we have reached our target, we will close the crowdfunding raise with crowdcube, meaning no further funding will be accepted. From here the the completion process starts. All investors will receive a copy of the Articles of Association via email and then electronic share certificates will be issued.

There are a number of exit prospects for investors. One potential option is via Crowdcube secondary market. If there is buy and sell demand, Crowdcube will offer managed, company approved secondary events where shares can be sold. Another option is in the event of the successful sale of one or more brands from the Root7 platform, after a liquidity event such as an IPO of the company, or if the company is acquired by another company.

Investing in growing businesses involves risks and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Risks may include illiquidity, loss of capital, lack of dividends and dilution.
