Buying and selling grain is a complex, manual and time-consuming task.
- Transparency in grain prices, product availability, and new trading opportunities is quite limited.
- Negotiating grain deals is done over the phone, which is typically slow, inefficient, and often a biased process.
- Intermediaries influence buyers' and sellers' profits by charging between 0.5% and 3% per transaction.
Agriniser is a SaaS marketplace that empowers buyers and sellers of grain to connect, negotiate and close deals in a seamless, transparent and efficient way. The Bulgarian startup is a finalist of the Nextcelerator program, SeedBlink's vertical accelerator in partnership with Microsoft and Agricover, and one of the 10 finalists selected for EBRD’s Star Venture program.
🗓️ The private opportunity will begin on Thursday, June 23, at 10:00 AM (GMT+2), while the public launch is scheduled for June 28. Join the Pitch & Q&A.
🔑 To gain access to the private round, sign up for the SeedBlink Club.

As a platform that only serves technology ventures, SeedBlink can connect the start-up with more than just money. SeedBlink investors are primarily technocrats who understand the objectives of the fundraising company and are also able to post-funding contribute with business opportunities. The minimum investment threshold, and technology focus, differentiates SeedBlink from other fundraising platforms. A perfect fit for a technology start-up seeking intelligent funding.

SeedBlink boosted our brand exposure and facilitated the financial support we were seeking. Having a campaign on the platform allowed us not only to meet a team of professionals - that guided and helped us prepare the necessary materials - but also opened doors for increasing our brand awareness and have discussions with VCs & angel investors we have never reached before. This campaign gave us the encouragement we needed to push the product further, while the record-breaking fundraising (only 2 hours from the launch of the campaign!) was a great confirmation that our product is needed in this market and that we should continue innovating.

SeedBlink has created a vital ecosystem for startups at the beginning of their journey by equipping entrepreneurs with expertise, encouraging honest and sometimes uncomfortable but necessary discussions about risks and vulnerabilities through a suite of tools, and facilitating connections with investors who share the founders' vision and can contribute to their success. I have greatly appreciated the constant support of Eric and the entire team at all stages of the campaign. Thank you so much!
