Investment in Affinity software?

[icreate]

Having used Affinity Designer and Photo (and testing Publisher) I can see Affinity replacing my Adobe software in the not too distant future (and I can see a lot of other users doing the same).

With that in mind, I'm wondering if there's any plans for people to actually be able to invest in the company?

I'd love to put my money behind the company which will ultimately overthrow the evil Adobe empire!

My investment advisors asked me the same thing several months ago.  I said, I hope not.    I can't imagine Serif letting itself be hornswoggled into an Adobe trap -- millions of customers trapped in an increasingly expensive rental, millions of investors wanting a return, and tech "support" from Southeast Asia.

I doubt that's the plan, I think Affinity have a clear plan to have several applications which serve a specific purpose and to do that purpose properly. They've been clear that they don't want to go down the subscription route (that could change, I know) and if they stick to their guns and plan clearly then there's no reason why they'd get sucked into the Adobe circle of hell.

It certainly seems that they listen to their userbase (something Adobe et al couldn't do so easily back in the day), and I would seriously be interested in investing should they decide to go down this route.

Sorry, we're a limited company, we don't have any investment opportunities.

You make it sound as though the two are mutually exclusive. Lots of limited companies have shareholders!

’Limited’ is this context is just shorthand for ‘limited liability’.
