The first CUP espressobar opened with help of crowdfunding
After a successful crowdfunding campaign the first CUP (Coffee Unites People) espresso bar opened in Voorburg on 18 October. The espresso bar is an addition to mobile capuccinobar, MobiCcino, which has been active since 2004. Guido Dam, owner of the MobiCcino and Mario van Andel, passionate barista and manager of the first CUP, noticed that there is an increased demand for quality tea and coffee and a set location to get it. The CUP espresso bar is a place in the neigborhood where you meet with neighbors, friends and business associates, or where you treat yourself with a delicious coffee. You can also buy fresh ground coffee beans.
Why crowdfunding?
The gentlemen have chosen crowdfunding as a way to obtain money because this caused a direct involvement of investors in the neighborhood. For example: the local barber and real estate agent have to opportunity to invest in the neighborhood straight away. In total, an amount of € 50,000,- was collected.
