REstart Refugees

REstart is a community-focused, donation-based crowdfunding platform for displaced entrepreneurs to (re)start companies in host countries. The greatest barrier of entrepreneurship is lack of access to traditional financing. Together we can change that. We have all of the resources we need to activate a new generation of entrepreneurs at the local level, but until now there has been no trustworthy, effective or sustainable way to do so. Most crowdfunding platforms take commission and wish their clients good luck. We are invested in our clients' success, literally and figuratively. Through co-ownership, we ensure our clients have everything they need to not only succeed but to thrive. By engaging communities at the local level, we can create dynamic local business ecosystems that encourage connections and collaborations at the local level. With one small but meaningful backing to someone in your community, together we can restart companies, reduce welfare and unemployment, increase tax revenue, fortify local economies and forge cross-cultural partnerships. Our model is scalable, adaptable by any community and is poised to impact Europe's economic landscape. 2018 Venture Cup Finalist 2017 Via Innovation Awards Top 10 Finalist 2017 Aalborg University Incubator Visit www.REstartRefugees.com to learn more and sign up for updates as we prepare to launch in 2018!
