Setting up the account took a little bit of hoop jumping for security reasons. The only reason for four stars is my email became a commercial for investment opportunities.

It is a pleasure to work with James Munroe. James is always accessible, responsive and more importantly pro active. When there's a great opportunity, he will let me know and that is something I truly appreciate.

The best crowdfunding platform in my opinion. The investment process is simple, fast, and user-friendly. I especially appreciate that the fees are the same whether investing via bank transfer or debit card, which makes things more transparent and convenient. I also really like the secondary market and I’m excited about the future potential of tokenization. Another great feature is the rewards offered to previous crowdfunding investors when investing again in the same company. Overall, a very well-designed platform and a great experience so far.

I just am excited to finally invest in something. And, i really like Novica and what they do. I always have. So, just to be a part of that, no matter how small, i feels good. Im excited to have something cool to pass to my daughter, Again, small, but, cool. Your agents made it easy, and treated me as though i had invested a great amount. I appreciate that. The communication is good.
