Eureeca Global Crowdinvesting Platform facilitates equity investment opportunity for Middle East's first virtual skills marketplace
Dubai (UAE): Nabbesh, the Middle East's first virtual skills marketplace launched its quest for capital on Eureeca, the first global crowdinvesting platform for small & medium businesses to source funding from the crowd. As a dynamic online business in the Middle East, Nabbesh has chosen Eureeca to raise funds for its fast-growing venture for expansion and continued growth.
eureeca.com, which operates as a marketplace to bring together businesses looking for funding and crowd investors seeking new investment prospects, provides a platform to facilitate a funding round for Nabbesh, with an entry level for interested investors starting as low as $100usd.
To date, Nabbesh has already proven great success with over 17,000 members and over 1,300 freelance and project based jobs posted on the site. Already identified as a high potential business when it won the inaugural Middle East start-up reality TV show, 'The Entrepreneur' earlier in the year, Nabbesh brings together skills and opportunities in a simple, effective platform that goes beyond the traditional employment models. Using Nabbesh, people across the MENA region can offer their skills (whether graphic design, accounting, cake-baking or tutoring) and services to people or businesses needing those skills. For businesses, Nabbesh means access to an on-demand regional talent pool, ability to substantially save on overheads and the freedom to scale based on market demand.
Loulou Khazen Baz, Founder & CEO of Nabbesh said: "Nabbesh is in the business of disrupting the way people find jobs and crowdinvesting is disrupting the way businesses find funding so it was a natural fit for us to raise funds on eureeca.com. Our platform is an innovative business that includes the building of a community, so what better way to seek capital for our fast-growing venture than through the community or crowd of potential investors we will have access to through Eureeca. "
As with all businesses listing their proposals on Eureeca, Nabbesh will be open to funding for a 90-day period. Registration for investors on the site www.eureeca.com is free.
