Community voice

"What I appreciate most about SeedBlink's secondary market is the ease of transacting and the negotiation process. It just works, and all the steps went very smoothly, from selecting the shares to the actual financial transactions and the signing of the documents. The ability to tap into the liquidity of my shares is also very valuable to me as an angel investor who is used to having capital locked up for a long time."
