Career opportunities
Historically, we’ve matched investors with high-growth companies.
Now, we’re also helping to match Ukrainian job-seekers with companies looking for exceptional talent. If you know any Ukrainian refugees who have recently immigrated to the UK and are looking for work, we’d love to hear from you.
UK Sponsorship
There are still many Ukrainians seeking temporary or permanent refuge in the UK.
The Homes for Ukraine government initiative allows refugees to move here legally, get government support and financing, and be eligible to work here. Having a UK sponsor expedites these applications and there is currently a shortfall of volunteers. If you think you can take on the responsibility of being a sponsor, click the link below.
Donate
You might have seen our recent crowdfund on our sister platform Crowdfunder, where we raised £11,262 for UNICEF UK. Our crowdfund might be finished, but other fundraising initiatives are not!
Magnetto, a member of our Funded Community operating in Ukraine, initially focused on ensuring the safety of their own employees. Since then they have set up initiatives like, Charity Hero where you can donate.

Frequently asked questions
To invest on Crowd121, you need to be over 18 years old and legally entitled to invest. You’ll also need to be a resident of the UK or a country where you may legally receive financial promotions of the nature provided. If you’re not sure whether you can invest through Crowd121 in your country, you should seek legal advice before making an account.
We can’t advertise investment opportunities to those living in the United States, Canada, Japan or any other country where it would be unlawful for our pitches to be advertised. Please don’t register with us if you are a resident in these countries.
When creating your account, make sure you create it in your own name, as we can’t accept joint investments. You’ll also be asked to choose an investor type (such as every day or professional) and complete a quick questionnaire. This is to ensure you understand the high-risk nature of investing in startups and early-stage businesses. If you receive independent advice, you don’t have to fill out the questionnaire. These investor types won’t apply to all other platforms.
Ideally, the business you’ve invested in will grow to a point where it lists on the stock market (“going public”), is bought by a larger company, or the company management buys back equity from investors. At that point, you might be able to sell your shares and make a profit.
You can also express interest in selling any shares in a company in your portfolio , our secondary market, potentially realising the value of your investment without having to wait for one of the above liquidity events.
Expressing interest to buy or sell shares doesn’t guarantee that the transaction will happen, but if buy- and sell-side demands are met, we will seek to facilitate the transaction with the company and let you know when the sale goes live.
Receiving dividends
In addition, if the company you’ve invested in becomes profitable, it may be able to pay dividends.

Risk warning
Investing in start-ups and early-stage businesses involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Crowd121 is targeted exclusively at investors who are sufficiently sophisticated to understand these risks and make their own investment decisions. You will only be able to invest via Crowd121 once you are registered as sufficiently sophisticated. Please click here to read the full Risk Warning.
