Weekly Digest: curated tech news & food for thought
Welcome to our weekly conversation starter.

It felt necessary to revisit SeedBlink’s offer, as we’ve evolved into a much different player than when we first started.

SeedBlink offers a comprehensive product suite for startups and investors, focusing on equity management and fundraising solutions. It includes crowdfunding through SeedBlink Ventures, investment syndicates via SeedBlink Syndicates, secondary market trading, and cap table management with SeedBlink Equity. Let's dive in!

Primaries spotlight: Swisspod has extended its Pre-Series A round to bring hyperloop technology closer to reality, with Felix Porsche joining as an investor and Board member.

3 companies are actively raising now. Explore them.

On the Bulletin Board: Gain freedom and flexibility with your investments. Buy or sell shares in 45 promising tech companies with no minimum ticket. Check it out.

Klarna | A smarter way to shop & pay

Klarna, a global fintech leader, has evolved beyond "buy now, pay later," serving 150M users across 45 countries with over 500,000 retail partners.

"When choosing SeedBlink as a syndication platform, we had these two things in mind: to resolve the need of the founders to raise more money and to allow business angels to be part of this financing round, angels who otherwise might not have been able to place a substantial ticket enough to directly enter the cap table."

Marius Istrate, Chairman of the Board, TechAngels.

SeedBlink Equity, one of the platform's four pillars, acts as the core glue integrating all services.

A prime example is Raise Hub, which simplifies the fundraising process for startups by providing tools and infrastructure for founders to raise capital directly from their networks through the Syndicates platform. This minimizes paperwork and legal costs, ensuring a streamlined experience.

If you have a company, you can efficiently syndicate your supporters using Raise Hub. Know a founder who could benefit? Help us spread the word about this effective solution.
