The actual amount of new investment generated by Watford’s digital equity offer has broken through the £3.8m barrier a month after it was launched.At 8am this morning, the figure of money actually invested in the offering stood at £3,813,047.The amount that has actually been generated and invested in the scheme can be tracked in real time on the website of Seedrs , which is the English arm of the American company Republic, who are Watford’s partners in the venture.
That’s why the number you can see on the Republic site, which at 8am this morning was $6,608,998 , is more than the actual amount invested that is shown on the Seedrs website. Of course, with time still left before the offer closes, that remaining amount of pledged money could still be turned into actual investment.The £3.81m actually raised so far is 21.7% of the club’s £17.5m target, and has come from 2,604 different investors.As things stand, investors and supporters can sign up and commit to purchase any amount of shares.
