# What our businesses have to say

*“One crucial part of solving the struggle of fertility is creating a safe community for that audience. Crowdfunding via Seedrs has made it possible to engage this community on the next level, inviting them to really be part of **Tilly**’s journey. In addition, it has helped to reach a whole new audience of both potential users and engaged advocates who help spread the word about Tilly.”*

*“A huge part of sustainability is redistribution of wealth and getting behind communities; one of the people on our board is in the green investment space and that’s how we landed with Seedrs. What we really loved about Seedrs was that people can come on board, take equity and be involved as much as they want to be. Our revenues have gone up 3x since our campaign on Seedrs.”*

*“Our crowdfunding campaign made it possible for **Zereau** to prevent waste of 30 million single-use bottles before 2030. We chose Seedrs as it is a professional, well-known platform for equity campaigns. The potential of the secondary market provides the possibilities we were looking for. Seedrs enabled us to overachieve our first campaign, we raised 204% of our goal! We are excited to continue to grow our company, thanks to this campaign and the easy possibility for future rounds.”*
