Six years, 110,000 supporters, €80M+ under administration, and the reality of European venture

‍And here we are together, six years later.

Enough time to look back with perspective, and forward with intention. What started as a simple way to open access to startup investing has grown alongside a changing market, one that asks for better execution, stronger structures, liquidity and solutions that can support companies and investors over the long term.

SeedBlink was built to grow with those needs.

Evolving with the market

SeedBlink started in 2020 as a crowdfunding platform, becoming the third platform licensed across all EU countries and opening access to startup investing across Europe. As the market matured, so did the needs of founders and investors using our platform.

Capital structures became more flexible. Private rounds and syndicates grew in relevance. Long-term shareholder management and secondaries became part of the standard.

Today, SeedBlink has grown into a venture deal execution platform for European private markets. Public fundraising remains part of the system, alongside syndicates, stakeholder management, and secondaries, all connected and designed to work together as one coherent lifecycle.

2025, powered by people

Building infrastructure is rarely loud. It is architectural, operational, and cumulative.

In 2025, SeedBlink focused on strengthening this execution layer. On simplifying the experience externally while increasing depth internally. On aligning around a clear objective: enabling private market deals to be executed cleanly, repeatedly, and across borders.

“In 2025, we focused on strengthening the foundations of SeedBlink. We refined our positioning, reinforced the infrastructure behind the platform, and stayed close to the founders and investors who rely on us. This progress reflects the work and leadership of a committed team, as we continue to build a long-term execution infrastructure for European private markets. As Europe’s tech ecosystem grows toward $4T in value, we see every day what that growth demands: systems that scale with founders and investors.” says Andrei Dudoiu, CEO, SeedBlink.

This evolution reflects a long-term commitment to founders, investors, and partners building in Europe.

Six years of SeedBlink, in perspective

We have grown into an execution layer used by founders, angel networks and professional investors across Europe and beyond:

• 110,000+ members joined our ecosystem ‍
• €80M+ in capital is managed under SeedBlink’s investment vehicles ‍
• 6,500+ international companies joined the platform
• Out of which 150+ are part of our funded portfolio companies ‍
• 130+ countries represented, with a strong European footprint ‍
• 144 industries covered with 100+ companies showcasing their companies on the platform‍
• €5.2M+ in secondaries volume all time

The story here is not volume alone. It’s about building a system founders and investors return to as they grow.

What the market taught us

Across public fundraising, private deals, and syndicates, at SeedBlink three signals stood out:

• Speed and flexibility won. Over 65% of deals opted for convertibles or SAFEs, reflecting a shift toward debt instruments and a faster fundraising pace.
• Seed remained the most infrastructure-heavy stage. Nearly 70% of rounds handled on SeedBlink were seed stage. Not only one large investor stepping directly into the cap table, but many smaller tickets coming together to support a company’s next phase.
• Communities invested differently. The average investment ticket reached €9,080, increase influenced by syndicates where the average ticket climbed to €22,000. When investors move together, conviction compounds.

“Most investing doesn't happen in the headlines. It happens in extensions, bridges, follow-ons, and quiet allocations that never make TechCrunch. Angel networks want to deploy capital consistently, across markets, through structures they can rely on without rebuilding from scratch each time. At SeedBlink, we built that infrastructure. And it opened something unexpected: the opportunity to run syndicates beyond tech. Real estate, energy, industries creating real value and innovating in their own way, even if they don't carry the venture label.” says Carmen Sebe, President BoD, SeedBlink.

By total mobilized capital in rounds executed through SeedBlink, together with co-investors participating alongside us, funding concentrated in a few clear verticals:  

• AI / ML ( €17.5M)
• LogTech (€4M)
• Fintech (€3.7M)
• ConsumerTech (€3.3M).

Fintech also led in the number of public and private rounds in 2025. Together with HealthTech and AI / ML, it remains one of the most active verticals across the full six-year journey.

Europe is built for the game

Europe is fragmented by default. Different legal systems, different regulations, different investor cultures. And we believe this is not a reason to lower ambition. It is a reason to build better systems and alsosupport initiatives such as EU INC, the 28th regime.

This is why we chose to build infrastructure rather than focus on any single fundraising format. European private markets need rails that make cross-border investing feel normal, not exceptional.

We chose a more complicated hand on purpose.

2026: turning infrastructure into growth

SeedBlink enters 2026 with a clear direction: turn execution infrastructure into compounding momentum for founders and investors across Europe.

“I have built and continue to build companies in Europe by choice. Europe has proven it can create value at scale. Yet fragmentation keeps turning growth into friction, from incorporation to liquidity, not because the answers are missing, but because our systems don’t connect. Strategy gets the headlines, infrastructure does the work. That conversation is already happening, from initiatives like EU-INC to the push for shared standards. Whether we get to say <<we did it>> will depend on building rails that make cross-border growth the default, not the exception.” says Radu Georgescu, Chairman of the Board, SeedBlink.

Our focus for the year ahead is clear:

• Unifying the experience by bringing fundraising, syndicates, secondaries, and equity management into one coherent platform, supporting founders, investors, and angel networks from preparation to liquidity.
• Integrating a legal and investment boutique layer directly into SeedBlink, reducing the cost, friction, and fragmentation that often slow down execution when these services are outsourced.
• Making syndicates a core growth engine, expanding beyond tech into sectors like energy and real assets, while growing the number of angel networks and investment leads executing cross-border private deals on the platform.
• Evolving CORE into the home for founders, investing further in product, data, and AI-driven tools to help companies prepare, raise, and manage stakeholders continuously.
• We thank the founders who raised with us, the investors who backed companies through our infrastructure, and the partners who believe Europe deserves better private market systems.
