How Savvy Mango differs from Crowdcube and other platforms
5 min read · updated July 2026
If you've used or looked at Crowdcube, Seedrs or similar, here's what makes Savvy Mango different, in plain terms.
Startups and real property, in one place
Most platforms focus on startup equity. Savvy Mango lets you back both startups and real property developments (hotels, apartments, warehouses, housing) from the same account.
Money released by progress, not up front
Rather than handing a business all its funding at once, Savvy Mango releases capital in stages, only as each milestone is verified and spending is checked against invoices.
You can watch what you funded
Property projects post drone footage, photos and video updates, so you can literally watch a building rise because of your investment, something startup-only platforms can't offer.
Low minimums and early exit
You can start from £25, and where available you can request to sell your holding early on a private secondary market.
