SeedBlink, the equity and investment company, announces the launch of its all-in-one equity management and investment platform.
The solution enables European, including Bulgarian, technology startups and stakeholders to seamlessly access, manage and trade equity - through a unique combination of tech infrastructure, financial services, and network coverage.
With a proven track record of success since its inception in 2020, SeedBlink has solidified its position as a key player in the European technology investment and equity management space, continually introducing innovative solutions that empower startups to accelerate their growth at every stage of development.
“As Europe establishes itself as a major hub for technological innovation, we are seeing a dynamic investment scene accompanied by the challenges of a still-diverse regulatory framework. SeedBlink’s platform is pivotal, driving technology forward and simplifying complexities, making us a key catalyst for growth across Europe, including Bulgaria.” says Angel Hadjiev, SEE Director at SeedBlink.
Through a data-informed, AI-powered approach, SeedBlink’s unified, all-in-one equity management and investment platform features four key services:
SeedBlink Equity: A comprehensive module including cap table management, locally relevant employee stock option plans (recently launched as ESOP Design in Bulgaria - the first all-in-one solution for employee equity compensation for startups tailored to the specific local legal and tax environment, in collaboration with Bulgarian Gugushev & Partners Law Office), simulations, stakeholder governance, and portfolio management among other services, that collectively help companies manage equity efficiently and transparently, and make educated, strategic equity decisions.
SeedBlink Ventures: Accelerates the fundraising journey for top-tier tech startups through professional guidance, tools, investment vehicles, and introductions to the right VCs and investors network, including the Bulgarian Eleven Ventures, LAUNCHub Ventures, Silverline Capital, Morningside Hill, Vitosha Venture Partners and Sofia Angels Ventures.
SeedBlink Syndicates: Enables angel investors and founders to pool and deploy capital within their own networks, fostering collaborative investment opportunities.
SeedBlink Secondaries: Facilitates equity trading, offers early liquidity for vested shares, and supports portfolio diversification strategies.
The SeedBlink all-in-one equity and investment platform digitizes, automates and centralizes operations, streamlining investment and equity management processes. In Bulgaria, it will further facilitate the management of equity tools such as ESOPs, increasing adoption rates.
Radu Negulescu, CEO and Founder of Sessions, the smart collaboration platform, commented, “At Sessions, we prioritize efficiency, productivity, and innovation. Our funding and equity game couldn’t be any different. We’re thrilled to partner with SeedBlink, which gave us access to diverse funding options and enabled us to provide equity to investors, our top talent and our user community. We’re essentially taking equity participation and fundraising to the next level. SeedBlink’s all-in-one platform is a big plus, kudos to them for bringing it to the market.”
This launch also marks a significant milestone - one year since the introduction of SeedBlink’s equity management solution, Nimity, now SeedBlink Equity - adding to the success of four years of community and VC-backed investments, all important steps towards an all-in-one platform with synergy benefits. With a robust roadmap of advanced functionality and services around equity management and diverse investment vehicles, SeedBlink is poised to meet the needs of technology companies throughout their growth journey.
Carmen Sebe, CEO of SeedBlink, expressed her enthusiasm about the company’s achievements, stating, “Today, we are an ecosystem of solutions that supports technology startups and scaleups in their quest for exponential growth, integrating financing services, retention of key employees, effective communication with investors, and early liquidity options. Our focus remains on simplifying complex equity management processes and providing strategic investment opportunities.”
Since launch, SeedBlink reported over EUR 1B+ in asset ownership, EUR 374M in startup investing mobilized for over 350 companies from 15 countries, including the Bulgarian Dronamics, Alcatraz AI, Swipe, SoCyber and FlatAway; 4000+ companies enrolled in equity management.
