Udrive has now gone into overfunding and is still open to investors keen to own a company share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInstitutional investors were keen to participate on this raise before going live, and the demand has been compounded in the last 48 hours by the appetite from their customers and everyday investors to own equity in one of the Middle East\u2019s most exciting growth companies. It also highlights our platform&#8217;s maturity and our ability to work with companies and facilitate raises of anything between US$1 million \u2013 US$5 million and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDespite the challenges of COVID-19, Eureeca continued to successfully fund companies from the UAE, Malaysia, UK, and Holland in the midst of the crisis, underscoring Eureeca and the business model as recession-proof. As a result of our success, we have seen a 400% increase in applications, including larger businesses looking to raise seven-figure raises, which is subsequently piquing the interest of institutional investors,\u201d he added.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This latest success for the equity crowdfunding platform follows recent announcements, which have seen funding of US$1.2 million and US$2.4 million for UK-based companies Teysha Technologies and the multi-award-winning electricity storage company Storelectric, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the UAE, Eureeca facilitated the funding of US$817,000 for Fruitful Day, the office and home fruit delivery service, as well as close to US$2 million for Enerwhere, a Dubai-based DEWA-certified solar utility company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/udrive-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1001\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/udrive-2.jpg\" alt=\"udrive-2\" class=\"wp-image-18103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/udrive-2.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/udrive-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/udrive-2-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hasib Khan, Udrive CEO and Founder said: \u201cIn October, we decided that now was the time to continue our Series A funding round with Eureeca, a plan that originated in January 2020. As a regulated funding vehicle, Eureeca gave investors, many of whom are our customers, greater levels of confidence in investing in our business. Thanks to this funding, the future of the company look incredibly positive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since its launch in 2013, Eureeca has grown into a multi-regulated, cross-continent platform with over 30,000 active investors from 70 countries\u00a0with an average investment size of US$5,800.
