Idea

Introduction

Retail leaders around the world use Swogo to increase their margins. Brands like El Corte Inglés, Decathlon, Sephora, Media Markt and British Telecom partner with Swogo for their automated cross-sell bundles

As the e-commerce market continues to grow the market is the market is becoming more competitive. One method for retailers to combat this is to sell high margin complementary products alongside the host product.

Using an approach that focuses on understanding a retailer’s product assortment - Swogo Product Graph combined with machine learning and AI algorithms, Swogo plans to surpass 3.5 billion bundles in 2019 having delivered an average of 10.5 million bundles around the world per day.The company was founded in 2012 and is based in London and Lisbon.

Swogo has been featured in The Financial Times, Entrepreneur and Business Insider

Preemption details

This is a pre-emption campaign for Swogo who have raised a further £445k of funds.

As an existing shareholder in Swogo you have the right to exercise your pre-emption rights in order to maintain your current percentage ownership in the business. If you would like to exercise your pre-emption rights, simply click the invest button above and follow the instructions.

As this is a pre-emption only campaign, available only to existing shareholders, limited information is being provided at this time.

Key Information

Please note that between Seedrs last round of investment and this new investment, Swogo has issued a new class of preferred share.

On liquidation and exit, these shareholders will first receive 10% of their initial investment amount for each year they have held the shares, up to a maximum of 50% of their initial investment amount.

The remaining proceeds will then be distributed amongst all shareholders pro rata.

Some investors in this round will be receiving this class of preference shares, but these are not EIS eligible and therefore Seedrs investors will be receiving ordinary shares.

One shareholder in Swogo has an anti-dilution clause stating that their shares do not dilute if the valuation of Swogo during an investment round is less than €4,000,000.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future.

This campaign for Swogo has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 14 October 2019 as a financial promotion. Republic Europe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 550317. In approving this campaign, Republic Europe has concluded that the information, taken as a whole, is "fair, clear and not misleading." This means that for factual statements we have reviewed evidence of their accuracy, and that for aspirational statements we believe they are phrased appropriately in light of their speculative nature. You should note that in the case of factual statements, the evidence we review is provided by the business, and we do not audit it, which means that we may not be able to identify forged or altered evidence. You should further note that in the case of aspirational statements, the nature of the type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform is such that they are likely to have high ambitions, and we may approve statements that convey those ambitions even where we do not believe, or we do not have a view on whether it is likely, that they will be fully realised. The pre-money valuation and investment sought in the campaign are those set by the business: they are not reviewed or established by us, and the valuation is not an independent view of what the business is worth. Given the nature and type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform, it is possible that the business has very little cash remaining prior to receiving this investment, and the investment sought may be necessary for the business's on-going existence.

Republic Europe does not make investment recommendations to you. No communications from Republic Europe, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. Further, nothing on this website shall be considered an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Republic Europe does not provide legal, financial or tax advice of any kind. If you have any questions with respect to legal, financial or tax matters relevant to your interactions with Republic Europe, you should consult a professional adviser.

Tax Relief (SEIS)

This business is eligible for SEIS relief - providing qualifying investors with income tax relief of 50% of their investment and certain other tax reliefs. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future. Click to learn more.

Tax Relief (EIS)

This business is eligible for EIS relief - providing qualifying investors with income tax relief of 30% of their investment and certain other tax reliefs. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future. Click to learn more.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £7,250,002

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Republic Europe.

Pitch type

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Republic Europe campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).
