As part of the partnership, the two firms will work together, with Crowdcube sourcing investments and Strathtay Ventures, a wholly owned subsidiary of Braveheart serving as the manager for the new fund.
The fund, which has a minimum individual subscription of £2,500 (US$4,100), will seek to take advantage of EIS and SEIS tax reliefs and allow investors to top up their investment over the two year initial investment period.
Additionally, the fund will invest in UK businesses without spending time on due diligence and aims to build a tax efficient, balanced investment portfolio for investors who expect returns to come from portfolio companies through trade sales, IPOs and licensing deals.
The fund has been designed to serve people who want to invest in startup and early stage businesses which are listed on Crowdcube’s platform.

By GlobalDataGeoffrey Thomson, CEO of Braveheart, said: "There are a large number of investors who like the crowdfunding concept but who, for one reason or another, find the DIY route problematic. We hope they will find this new initiative of interest."
Darren Westlake, CEO and co-founder of Crowdcube, said: "Many investors are attracted to the idea of crowdfunding but lack the time to fully research opportunities and monitor the progress of a diversified portfolio. This Fund offers them a tailored solution."
