Investor Details Founded: 2014
Play Business is a pioneering equity crowdfunding platform based in Mexico City, established in 2014. It offers investors the opportunity to acquire equity in startups, facilitating passive income generation through monthly contributions as low as 200 pesos. This model allows individuals to diversify their portfolios by investing in various sectors and stages of business development.
The platform's business model, termed 'crowd equity,' distinguishes itself by providing investors with ownership stakes in startups, rather than rewards or products. Entrepreneurs, referred to as 'makers,' undergo a boot camp to refine their business plans and valuation strategies before launching campaigns. Investors, known as 'players,' can monitor progress and choose to exit at any time, thereby managing their risk exposure.
Since its inception, Play Business has funded over 120 companies, channeling more than 400 million pesos into the Mexican startup ecosystem. The platform's strategic partnerships, such as the 2019 investment from Regional, have bolstered its growth and operational capacity, enabling it to support a diverse range of industries and business stages. This approach has contributed to the platform's resilience and continued success in the competitive crowdfunding landscape.
