Q2 Product Updates
Syndicates, Secondary Market & Nimity
We are excited to share the latest product updates from SeedBlink as we continue to build the financial infrastructure for tech entrepreneurs and investors. Our goal is to provide a single, interoperable set of solutions that streamline financial services and business operations. In this newsletter, we will highlight the key advancements made in the past quarter.
Syndicates and VC-Backed Deals: Simplified Financing Services
We are pleased to introduce a new option for companies and investors: Syndicates.
Founders and lead investors can now leverage our platform to raise investment rounds by bundling smaller tickets from their friends and supporters into a single cap table line. One example of this is the recent #Dinamo2028 round. With our expertise in legal and financial matters, we have streamlined the financing journey, making it easier for founders or business angels to manage round setup and post-investment operations. Syndicates provide an efficient way to raise funds and enhance the overall fundraising experience.
Furthermore, we share some of these syndicate opportunities within our network, marking them as "Syndicates" on the platform. As an investor, you gain access to these deals at lower pricing, including discounted access fees and carry.
In addition to syndicates, we also offer VC-Backed deals where we co-invest alongside institutional investors. These deals provide personalized financing journeys based on agreed-upon term sheets. To compare pricing between syndicates and VC-backed opportunities, please visit this page.
Secondary Market: Grow and Diversify Your Portfolio this July
We are delighted to announce that the SeedBlink Secondary Market is hosting its quarterly event this July. By July 31, all payments and paperwork will be finalized, ensuring shareholders are promptly updated. Our bulletin board currently offers an array of 46 European tech companies (with equity rounds), expanding investment options for our valued investors.
The secondary market is designed to benefit individual investors by providing early liquidity for startups' shares, typically considered an illiquid asset class. It enables you to free up capital, invest at different risk profiles, and seize missed opportunities from the primary market. Please note that there is a minimum transaction fee of €30 (or 3%) for both buyers and sellers, while the transaction amount is negotiated between the parties.
Explore the wide range of opportunities available on the secondary market in verticals such as AI/ML, LogTech, Fintech, and MedTech. Visit our Bulletin Board here.
If you require additional information about the companies' shares on our platform, feel free to reach out to us at ops@seedblink.com.
Nimity: Empowering Equity Ownership
At SeedBlink, we believe that equity ownership is a catalyst for wealth creation and economic empowerment. When individuals have a stake in their businesses, they are more motivated, productive, and innovative. We are thrilled to introduce Nimity by SeedBlink, the equity management and financing platform exclusively catering to European tech companies and their stakeholders. Nimity allows for the seamless issuance, management, and trading of shares.
This week, all active investors on our platform will receive an invitation to access their portfolios on Nimity. We kindly request you to accept the invitation and provide us with your valuable feedback. To learn more about Nimity and its future, you can check the presentation we recently hosted, which offers insightful information on what's next.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in SeedBlink. If you have any questions or need assistance, our team is here to help!

As a startup founder, I am happy to witness SeedBlink’s dedication to expanding their support for early-stage companies beyond funding, towards a healthy equity management via Nimity. A solution to help better navigate relations with stakeholders, employees and future investors is needed in Europe. Less admin work and bringing transparency to the cap table are immediate benefits I was able to test.

SeedBlink is a transparent solution that connects entrepreneurs with great business plans, with investors, at different stages in their development. It is a great tool for us, a democratization of access to funding, I would say.
Ioan Iacob

FLOWX.AI
We really loved the SeedBlink journey. We reached our fundraising goal within hours of launching. About 100 investors joined our vision and invested almost $2 million in FLOWX.AI through the Private Deal Room. At the same time, working with SeedBlink to prepare for the funding round was an excellent exercise for our entire team, and we received and felt the support from the SeedBlink team members who took on an advisory role.

SeedBlink made the (investment) process run smoothly. We appreciate all the support SeedBlink's professional team has provided.

It's important to look for and choose a platform that you resonate with, that shares your mission with, a platform & its people with which you feel you can have good working relationships. we got an excellent relationship going forward; we talked a lot and we were in touch on a lot of matters and I think this was important. Having people who believe in your idea is of great help.

Running the financing round was like any other fundraising; we had to be active in our community as well as in SeedBlink's investor community. After the launch, everything happened very quickly, and SeedBlink organized several pitch events for investors, which we found very useful for the round momentum.
Svilen Rangelov
Founder and CEO
Dronamics
We immediately clicked with the SeedBlink team as their fundraising expertise was immediately obvious and their no-nonsense approach really appealed to us. After all, fundraising is only a means to an end, and we liked how the SeedBlink team was really focusing on supporting us and on getting things done.
Mihai Darzan
Founder
Procesio
Our main expectation has been to raise the amount we were aiming for, and both rounds launched on Seedblink exceeded our targets, so we’re very happy with that! Even though the launched funding campaigns have been purely crowdfunding rounds, we are thrilled to actually receive extra support from some of the investors, who have chosen to get involved and help us generate product awareness, whenever they can.
Catalin Mester
Founder
Voxa
I am recommending SeedBlink without hesitation, to every founder that raises capital, especially early-stage tech startups. SeedBlink is a crowd investment platform that will also provide their startup with visibility, for Angels and VCs.
Dragoș Iliescu
Founder and CEO
Brio
In the early stages, we have been funded by several early (angel) investors, and one and a half year ago through an equity crowdfunding campaign on SeedBlink. Of course, this impacted our growth in many positive ways, partly due to the cash influx that, evidently, was sorely needed, but in a larger part due to the fact that our responsibility towards our shareholders has become more stringent and explicit, becoming embodied in our market approach.
Costin Tudor
Co-founder and CEO
Undelucram
Given the accelerated growth we observed at the end of last year and the beginning of 2021, we want a new capitalization, quickly. This is a bridge round that we will use for one year, and the advantages that SeedBlink offers are the speed at which we were able to list for financing and the experience that we gain as a result of this public listing, similar to a listing on the stock exchange.
Diwaker Singh

Crikle
As a platform that only serves technology ventures, SeedBlink can connect the start-up with more than just money. SeedBlink investors are primarily technocrats who understand the objectives of the fundraising company and are also able to post-funding contribute with business opportunities. The minimum investment threshold, and technology focus, differentiates SeedBlink from other fundraising platforms. A perfect fit for a technology start-up seeking intelligent funding.
Florin Stoian
Co-Founder & CEO
Milluu
SeedBlink boosted our brand exposure and facilitated the financial support we were seeking. Having a campaign on the platform allowed us not only to meet a team of professionals - that guided and helped us prepare the necessary materials - but also opened doors for increasing our brand awareness and have discussions with VCs & angel investors we have never reached before. This campaign gave us the encouragement we needed to push the product further, while the record-breaking fundraising (only 2 hours from the launch of the campaign!) was a great confirmation that our product is needed in this market and that we should continue innovating.
Raluca Jianu
CEO & Co-founder
Epic Visits
SeedBlink has created a vital ecosystem for startups at the beginning of their journey by equipping entrepreneurs with expertise, encouraging honest and sometimes uncomfortable but necessary discussions about risks and vulnerabilities through a suite of tools, and facilitating connections with investors who share the founders' vision and can contribute to their success. I have greatly appreciated the constant support of Eric and the entire team at all stages of the campaign. Thank you so much!
