We know that fundraising can be a full-time job for founders – distracting you from what really matters: building your product, growing your team, and making progress. That’s why at SeedBlink, we’ve created Raise Hub – a toolkit designed to simplify and streamline fundraising for European startups.
Whether you're looking to raise capital from your network, perfect your pitch deck, connect with investors across Europe, or manage investors post-funding, Raise Hub has you covered.
Here’s a quick overview of what Raise Hub brings to the table:
Flexible financing options with SeedBlink Raise
Forget one-size-fits-all fundraising! With SeedBlink Raise, you can raise capital using SAFE or Convertible Notes, and even choose between standardized or custom agreements. It's flexible, founder-friendly, and gives you the control you need to run your round on your terms. Our team is ready to assist with equity rounds, covering the full spectrum of fundraising needs.
SeedBlink handles the investment vehicle (Austrian incorporated nominee), contracts, signatures, banking transfers, and KYC/AML verifications, relieving you of these complex admin stuff that no founder should spend precious time on.
PLUS! The nominee structure syndicates all investors under one row in your cap table, simplifying ownership and governance while maintaining transparency and compliance.
Private deal rooms for secure fundraising
We know how important it is to keep your fundraising organized and confidential. Raise provides private deal rooms where you can manage your round and track investor interest in real-time. It’s a streamlined and secure way to keep everything in one place. One click is all it takes to share a link to the deal room with your investors. Plus, you build credibility with investors by raising on a trusted platform.
AI-powered pitch deck review
You've spent hours refining that deck, but there's nothing like an external sounding board who knows what it takes to create a compelling pitch.
Raise Hub features an AI-powered pitch deck review tool, trained by investment specialists, that provides actionable insights to help you refine your presentation. Because a great pitch can make the difference between closing your round successfully or not.

Access to a VC network
With a curated database of 1,800 European VCs, founders can find and connect with the right investors for their stage of growth. Filter investors by investment thesis, region or stage of investment to get a shortlist. And because options can be overwhelming and cold calling is no one’s favorite, SeedBlink's investment managers are also here to help with introductions and matching you with the best-fit investors.
Funding simulations
Simulate different funding scenarios to understand how your next round of funding will impact stakeholder ownership. Simulate dilution based on investor terms to avoid surprises. This helps you make data-driven decisions and negotiate with confidence.
Once your round is complete, Raise Hub integrates with SeedBlink’s equity management tools and its syndicates infrastructure (helping you to control admin costs and maintain a clean cap table), making it seamless to manage your investor relationships and governance. It’s all about setting your company up for future success and the next rounds.
Automated reporting tools simplify your communication with investors and shareholders. The platform also enables you to keep all essential documents centralized and accessible for future rounds or audits.
In short, Raise Hub is here to take the headache out of fundraising and more – leveraging the back office of our financing services processes and infrastructure. It gives you autonomy, visibility and control over the round without the administrative burden.
All in all, SeedBlink’s Raise Hub helps you raise the bar on fundraising and gives you more time to focus on your business. I'm excited to see how founders across Europe use it to grow their businesses!
