Investor Community Holds Launch Event
Yesterday evening [June 7], Bermuda Investor Community Limited launched Bermuda’s first fully digital platform which brings together qualified individual investors and entrepreneurs.
A spokesperson said, “The gala launch event, held at the Cloud at the Waterfront Properties, brought over 60 qualified investors together with entrepreneurs presenting a range of opportunities to invest in Bermuda.

“The businesses, which launched their capital raises at the launch event, included EduTech, InsurTech, Property and Social Media businesses seeking capital in amounts ranging from BMD 7,500 to over BMD 2m.
“Whilst some of the businesses were graduates of Ignite, the island’s first privately funded, charitable entrepreneurial accelerator, others had no affiliation, taking advantage of the fact that the platform is open to all – provided they contribute to the Bermuda economy.
“As a sister company of Ignite, the Bermuda Investor Community operates as a social enterprise and recycles all of its profits into the Ignite programme, in the hope of creating a self-sustaining eco-system for entrepreneurial businesses in Bermuda.
Caroline McGill, Executive Chair of the Bermuda Investor Community, said: “We are delighted by the positive response we have had from the community – including potential investors and entrepreneurs. We hope to see many more register on our platform in the coming days and weeks.
“This is the first experience many of our entrepreneurs have had of raising capital, and we could not support them to the extent that we have without our fantastic group of volunteers, as well as the support we have received from the Bermuda business community in providing their partnership and sponsorship.”
