PRing that back fires.

Daris Zand, the entrepreneur behind telecoms company OVIVO raised two rounds of funding with us during 2013 and stormed both of them. He raised a total of £564,000 from 178 investors who believed in him.

The judges said; “Darius was totally focused on his fundraising, he was committed, organised and this showed in his pitch and his business. His pitch was executed perfectly both times, making him the perfect entrepreneur to work with.”

So reads the Crowdcube 2013 Hall of Fame.

We thought this was of interest as Darius' business Ovivo went bust very suddenly shortly after the awards were handed out. Who you might ask are the judges!! It also shows just how easy it is to fool 178 investors.
