OFF3R is a technology company that operates a mobile platform designed to simplify and democratize equity crowdfunding investments. It aggregates multiple UK and US equity crowdfunding opportunities into a single, swipe-based interface, similar to Tinder’s user experience, allowing investors to easily browse, compare, and select startup investment deals. The platform serves individual investors looking for streamlined access to early-stage investment opportunities across sectors, solving the problem of fragmented crowdfunding markets and complex deal discovery. OFF3R has shown growth momentum by expanding from the UK market into the US, updating its mobile and web interfaces, and planning to include additional alternative investment services such as loans and property deals[1][2].
Founded in 2015 by entrepreneur Lex Deak in London, OFF3R initially launched under the name Tendr, inspired by Tinder’s swipe functionality to create a user-friendly equity crowdfunding discovery app. The idea emerged from the need to consolidate multiple crowdfunding platforms into one interface to maximize investor exposure and ease of use. Early traction came from the UK market, where equity crowdfunding was rapidly growing, and the company gained investment from notable figures like New Look founder Tom Singh and serial investor Daniel McPherson. The rebranding to OFF3R coincided with the company’s strategic expansion into the US market, leveraging regulatory changes such as the JOBS Act’s Regulation A+ to broaden its investment offerings[1][2].
OFF3R rides the growing trend of democratizing startup investing through equity crowdfunding, which saw a surge from $1.1 billion invested in 2015 to a projected $8.2 billion by 2020 in tech ventures alone. The timing is favorable due to regulatory changes in the US (JOBS Act) and increasing investor appetite for alternative assets. By aggregating multiple platforms, OFF3R addresses market fragmentation, making early-stage investing more accessible and efficient. This influences the broader ecosystem by potentially increasing capital flow to startups and expanding the investor base beyond traditional venture capital, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship[1][2].
Looking ahead, OFF3R aims to deepen its market penetration in the US and other regions, broaden its product offerings beyond equity crowdfunding to include loans and property investments, and enhance personalized investment content. Trends such as mobile-first investing, regulatory easing, and growing interest in alternative assets will shape its trajectory. As the platform evolves, OFF3R could become a central hub for diversified alternative investments, further lowering barriers for retail investors and influencing how startups access capital globally. Its success will hinge on maintaining a seamless user experience while expanding its investment universe and community engagement[1][2].
