By its own count Conda has over 21,000 registered users, more than CHF 44 million of invested crowd capital and over 65 financed projects.
What can be financed
Menu entries: startup financing, SME financing, real estate financing, whitelabel solutions. A campaign shows a target and a minimum per investor; one example had a minimum of CHF 345.
Impact investments form their own category.
Servers and tools
Per the privacy policy, personal data sit on servers of CONDA GmbH, a Vienna company; Zoho Corporation systems may hold customer data and WordPress is listed among third parties.
The English page says the German policy text is the binding one.
Compared with Kickstarter
Founders raise investor capital here, not product presales, under Swiss investor rules.
Founder fees were not found.
Points against
Not for rewards campaigns; fees are not shown; German text is binding. Switzerland is outside the EU, and Zoho Corporation appears as third-party CRM.
Is Conda right for you?
Swiss start-ups and SMEs seeking small-ticket investors, and Swiss investors after local deals. For rewards see wemakeit.
