'Freetrade' word trademark

Freetrade was unsuccessful in its 'Freetrade' word application in the EU.^[1] Does this mean that Freetrade has to pay the trademark holder a fee to use the 'Freetrade' word in the EU?

Freetrade's proprietary brokerage system

The Crowdcube Freetrade campaign page details that Tim is the original architect of the company's proprietary brokerage system, the Freetrade Cloud Platform.

It's reasonable to assume that the CTO of the company when the brokerage system was first released is the original architect of the system.

Is there any evidence to confirm the actual architect?

London Stock Exchange member

Freetrade details that it's a member of the London Stock Exchange. What's the main benefit of being a member?

Series B funding amount

The company said that it raised £50m in an oversubscribed Series B. The company's financial statement shows £cccm. Please can you confirm the correct amount, and why's the difference?

-<vimeo>647234393</vimeo>Freetrade is a commission-free investing app.
-Investing is one of the best ways to grow your money over the long-term, but high commissions and clunky products have made it complicated for people to start and grow their investments. Freetrade has a simple, freemium pricing model, and has built the tech behind its app from the ground up.
-The 18 months since the company's last crowdfunding has seen it become a mainstream provider of general investment accounts, stocks and shares ISAs, and self-invested personal pensions, with over 1.1m users and £1bn in client assets.
-Earlier this year, Freetrade raised £50m in an oversubscribed Series B with investors including Left Lane Capital, L Catterton, and Molten Ventures.
-The company's proprietary brokerage system, the Freetrade Cloud Platform (FCP), has supported this surge in customers while keeping costs low. It’s the foundation that it's used to roll out new products and features like live pricing, instant bank transfers, and pensions. In the next few weeks, Freetrade will start rolling out access to European stocks. As a part of this, the company connected FCP to the European market infrastructure, which will enable it to launch in Sweden and the rest of the EU.
