“With this funding, SeedBlink will have the necessary resources for the ambition to become the European investment platform that will shape the future of the technology startup ecosystem. SeedBlink will help support the European market compete with major technology forces, the US and Asia. We thank all the investors for their support so far. We are all pioneers of a new world “, said Andrei Dudoiu, Co-founder and CEO of SeedBlink.
SeedBlink is a platform that democratizes access to investment at an early stage for investors who do not have large sums or the time needed to join exclusive clubs.
The platform was launched in December 2019 by former bankers Andrei Dudoiu and Ionut Patrahau, who were joined by entrepreneurs with extensive experience in the IT field, Radu Georgescu and Carmen Sebe. So far the platform attracted over 5,000 investors from 15 countries. Also, 43 campaigns of tech startups from 17 different industries managed to attract total investments of over 18 million euros from individual investors and VC funds, with 51% of the amount raised through crowd investing.
The funding will allow SeedBlink to quickly become an investment tool for those who want to support the ecosystem of technology startups, with relatively small amounts in Europe’s fastest-growing platform.
“We aim to establish the investment platform as a fusion of three main characteristics of the market: the audience of the” crowd “, the flexibility of business angels, and the structure of VCs. The team expects even more rapid development next year due to the new European Crowdfunding Regulation, expected in Q4 2021. There is a real need both for investors who want to diversify their portfolios and for the startups that need to attract funding and supporters from the region. Also, the communities served by startups have something to gain “, added Andrei Dudoiu.
