Story Terrace, a publishing technology startup that helps customers turn their memories into a beautiful book raised 80% of its crowdfunding target of £400,000. Anyone can become a shareholder in the company for as little as £10.
The Amsterdam-based startup is running its equity crowdfunding campaign through Seedrs, an equity crowdfunding platform for investing in startups and later-stage businesses throughout Europe.
Story Terrace plans to use the funding proceeds to expand services to the US, a market which already accounts for nearly half of the company’s sales since its launch last year.
The startup uses its technology platform to pair up writers, editors, and designers with people who want to have their life story written professionally. It previously raised £500,000 in Oct 2016 to turn photos and text into a print-ready book.
