We're crowdfunding!
We are building a football community at JAFA.
2019 was an incredible year in the football calendar, with the England Women's side heroically reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup, not to mention the tightest Premier League title race ever, and English sides dominating in Europe. But it’s also been a very exciting 12 months for JAFA.
This year saw the release of the new JAFA app, which was the result of months of hard work and late nights. Despite launching at the end of August, we recently celebrated the milestone of 20,000 downloads! We were honoured to be named in TechRounds Top 100 start-ups in the UK 2019, winning numerous industry awards too.
We would not here without our loyal users, who have really helped to create and maintain our growing football community. JAFA was created by fans, for fans – and as fans have invested so much time and effort in our platform, we want to give you the opportunity to own a slice of JAFA, and help take us to the next level.
We are raising our latest investment round through crowdfunding - which gives you the chance to invest in one of the one of the UK’s leading sports-tech businesses - and our crowd funding pre-registration is now open! As well as joining us on our journey there are several exclusive perks for JAFA investors too.
We have so many plans for where to take the app, from growing the user base, to a variety of features around communities, live chat & fantasy football. You can help us achieve this and be a part of the journey.

Below are some more details on the raise to help you decide if this is right for you….
WHAT IS A SEED ROUND AND WHAT WILL IT BE USED FOR?
In ‘startup world’ the process for raising capital to fuel growth typically starts with a Pre-Seed round, Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C and so on…. until the company is sold or reaches IPO stage.
JAFA is still ‘early stage’ and following our Seed round we are now raising again for what we call our ‘Seed B’ round (Q4 2019). As with most equity rounds, this will be led by private money from a mix of angel investors. Since we are all about our JAFA users — we want to open up the opportunity to our early supporters as well.
The money we raise will be spent against product development, building out the team and growing the user base, enabling us to deliver against our 2020 goals. It’s a crucial step in the early stages of a a start-up ahead of Series A. It’s about proving ‘product market’ fit and the first step in getting ready to scale.
WHO ARE SEEDRS?
For our non-UK based JAFA users who may not have heard of Seedrs; it is arguably the UK’s most prominent Crowd Funding platform.
Having been founded in 2012 - they are actually one of the early Fintech companies themselves. By using technology to match investors with businesses looking to raise capital — they facilitate a double sided market place and make the process of angel investing easier for both parties.
If you’re interested in researching angel investing or other startup trends in the UK sector - then Seedrs is a good place to start. Seedrs events are also a great place to hear directly from startups themselves.
