The Sun Exchange Raises Over ZAR 4 Million, Ends its Equity Crowdfunding Campaign

The Sun Exchange equity crowdfunding campaign has officially come to a close with over ZAR 4.2 million raised from over 200 investors from across the globe.

“We are delighted to report that over ZAR 4.2 million was invested by 288 individuals from across the world,” announced the firm. “We’re thrilled that this community of new investors will be joining Sun Exchange on our mission to connect the world to the sun, bringing affordable and clean energy to emerging markets.”

The Sun Exchange says investments were made by individuals from the United Kingdom, Nigeria, Germany, many parts of Europe, Kenya, Australia and even Brazil with South Africans investing over ZAR 2.5 million, 59% of the total raised, and representing 70% of all investors.

“The largest investments were made by a Norwegian and two South Africans, with a total of ZAR 835,000 invested between them,” said the firm.

The Uprise.Africa campaign formed part of the firm’s seed funding round and to date, the firm has raised over US$ 1 million which includes a US$ 500,000 (about ZAR 7 million) seed investment by Alphabit, a multi-million-dollar hedge fund.

While we did not achieve the ZAR 7 million goal set for the Uprise.Africa campaign, the fact that the campaign quickly reached the ZAR 3 million success milestone, signalled significant appetite from individual investors to own equity in Sun Exchange.

Sun Exchange extended the campaign for another month, and raised nearly ZAR 1 million more in just 30 days.
