Passingboxes or Lifearama Ltd used Crowdcube to raise £186k in 2017. Its stated aim was to become THE website for death. Now the website itself is dead. The company seems to be alive in a zombie kind of way.
It looks like more of the same from Crowdcube. Donna Mclean set up Passingboxes, so she tells us in her video here. She has a team which we are told is highly experienced. We couldn't find it. Must be well hidden.
Her video is based on the anticipated experience of her father's death - the inspiration for the business. But then her father didnt die yet.
Take it as you will, it is hard for a company to be THE website for death without a website. I am reminded of the death by tray skit..............
There is a certain doubt in the CH filings, which are a complete riot, about whether they raised any money on CC - certainly not from many investors, if they did. It is reported as being completed on numerous sites but isnt on CC any longer. So maybe it was pulled post pitch. Who knows - it was allowed on there in the first instance which should raise some eyebrows. But it wont. We also wonder if this £186k is included in Crowdcube's PR numbers??
15/4/19 - We can now confirm that this raise, although completed, was not finally signed off. Phew. Thank you to our source.
