ORCA has hit its fundraising target of £500,000 after opening up its Seedrs crowdfunding campaign to the public.

The campaign is trending first place on the equity crowdfunding platform, having received a total of £511,980 from 261 investors.

Orca, which lets people invest across multiple P2P platforms from £1,000, plans to use the funds to grow its customer base, integrate with more lenders, enhance its product features and expand into Europe.
