In June 2015, it was announced that Andy Murray was to be involved with Seedr, the London-based equity crowdfunding platform. With this, he was to invest millions into UK-based start-ups, such as healthy eating chain Tossed.

They include ice cream maker Oppo, peer-to-peer mortgage group Landbay, travel subscription service CommuterClub, digital magazine company Readbug and film-streaming firm We Are Colony.
