Crowd10 is a new crowd-funding initiative from IdeaSquares,  supporting ten early stage startups in their equity crowd-funding campaigns on one of the UK’s leading platforms, Crowdcube.

There are a diverse range of startups pitching and all are looking for under £150k investment, which makes them eligible for the extremely attractive SEIS tax relief.

You can see the ten startups pitching their businesses to a room full of investors at the live showcase event at the Engine Shed in Bristol below.  Watch this space from 6.15pm today:
