Crowdcube's Emoov disaster was well signposted for anyone with their eyes open.

You dont have to dig far to find people telling you that Captain Quirk, CEO of the startship Emoov, is a bit of a fantasist. We supply below some links etc. In future, when we have our new site up and running,  ECF.Buzz, members will be able to use our research to find these things out before they invest.

So in the same week that Crowdcube are due to launch their latest funding round, based on the a lot of selective PR, we can tell you about Emoov, which raised £1.8m in September 2018 and another £2.6m in 2015. The company is now in considerable financial trouble (Quirk out) and has put itself up4sale. The 2018 Crowdcube investment at a £100m valuation now seems to be a galaxy away from reality.
