SeedBlink launches Raise Hub, helping founders streamline their financing journey within their own network
-
- Raise Hub empowers startup founders to manage their fundraising, making access to capital more flexible and accessible by leveraging SeedBlink's digital infrastructure and rollups.
- Main advantages include flexible financing options, access to an extensive VC database, managing investor interactions, and tools like AI-powered pitch deck reviews and post-raise management with cost-efficient investment vehicles embedded.
Bucharest, September 24, 2024 – SeedBlink, Europe’s premier equity management and investment platform, today announces the launch of Raise Hub, a comprehensive digital suite designed to empower startup founders to efficiently manage fundraising activities within their own network, leveraging SeedBlink’s robust equity management infrastructure.
With Raise Hub, founders can seamlessly create private financing rounds for their backers, without accessing SeedBlink’s broader network of investors. This tool provides founders the flexibility to handle complex syndication processes, ensuring compliance while simplifying capital-raising operations.
“At SeedBlink, we are committed to reducing the burden founders face when managing their equity and investor relations,” said Carmen Sebe, CEO of SeedBlink. “Raise Hub is a natural extension of our Equity platform, designed to support founders by providing a secure environment where they can pool their own investors into a single investment vehicle and manage their equity and stakeholders. This frees up their time to focus on building their businesses."
Key features of Raise Hub:
- Private Deal Room Management: Founders can invite their own investors into secure deal rooms, complete with document sharing, signature and payments flows, with tracking of investor engagements.
- Syndication Infrastructure: The platform allows founders to pool multiple investors into a single investment vehicle, simplifying governance and avoiding a fragmented cap table.
- Post-Raise Management: Integrated with SeedBlink’s existing equity management platform, Raise Hub ensures smooth governance of investors post-raise, simplifying future funding rounds and secondary transactions.
- AI-Powered Pitch Deck Review: Leverage AI tools to review and optimize pitch decks, providing founders with actionable insights.
- VC Curated Database Access: Founders gain access to a curated list of over 1,800 European VCs, helping them build connections tailored to their financing needs.
A new milestone of Syndicated fundraising
Unlike traditional fundraising tools or crowdfunding models, Raise Hub is purpose-built for founders and their collaborators who wish to engage their investor network efficiently.
"With Raise Hub, we are enabling founders to create and manage their own syndicates with ease," said Sebe. "This is part of our broader vision to democratize the fundraising process, giving private companies control over their financing using modern tools, without complicating their cap table or investor governance."
Diwaker Singh, founder of Crikle, shared his experience: “SeedBlink's Raise is an easily manageable and digitized process. Investors are pooled into one vehicle and entrepreneurs don’t have to worry about a disorganized cap table or complicated governance requirements. Compared to other syndication platforms, SeedBlink offers not only a better experience but also an affordable option that allows businesses to bring in investors from different countries and with different ticket sizes.”

As a startup founder, I am happy to witness SeedBlink’s dedication to expanding their support for early-stage companies beyond funding, towards a healthy equity management via Nimity. A solution to help better navigate relations with stakeholders, employees and future investors is needed in Europe. Less admin work and bringing transparency to the cap table are immediate benefits I was able to test.

SeedBlink is a transparent solution that connects entrepreneurs with great business plans, with investors, at different stages in their development. It is a great tool for us, a democratization of access to funding, I would say.

We really loved the SeedBlink journey. We reached our fundraising goal within hours of launching. About 100 investors joined our vision and invested almost $2 million in FLOWX.AI through the Private Deal Room. At the same time, working with SeedBlink to prepare for the funding round was an excellent exercise for our entire team, and we received and felt the support from the SeedBlink team members who took on an advisory role.

It's important to look for and choose a platform that you resonate with, that shares your mission with, a platform & its people with which you feel you can have good working relationships. we got an excellent relationship going forward; we talked a lot and we were in touch on a lot of matters and I think this was important. Having people who believe in your idea is of great help.

Running the financing round was like any other fundraising; we had to be active in our community as well as in SeedBlink's investor community. After the launch, everything happened very quickly, and SeedBlink organized several pitch events for investors, which we found very useful for the round momentum.

We immediately clicked with the SeedBlink team as their fundraising expertise was immediately obvious and their no-nonsense approach really appealed to us. After all, fundraising is only a means to an end, and we liked how the SeedBlink team was really focusing on supporting us and on getting things done.

Our main expectation has been to raise the amount we were aiming for, and both rounds launched on Seedblink exceeded our targets, so we’re very happy with that! Even though the launched funding campaigns have been purely crowdfunding rounds, we are thrilled to actually receive extra support from some of the investors, who have chosen to get involved and help us generate product awareness, whenever they can.

I am recommending SeedBlink without hesitation, to every founder that raises capital, especially early-stage tech startups. SeedBlink is a crowd investment platform that will also provide their startup with visibility, for Angels and VCs.

In the early stages, we have been funded by several early (angel) investors, and one and a half year ago through an equity crowdfunding campaign on SeedBlink. Of course, this impacted our growth in many positive ways, partly due to the cash influx that, evidently, was sorely needed, but in a larger part due to the fact that our responsibility towards our shareholders has become more stringent and explicit, becoming embodied in our market approach.

Given the accelerated growth we observed at the end of last year and the beginning of 2021, we want a new capitalization, quickly. This is a bridge round that we will use for one year, and the advantages that SeedBlink offers are the speed at which we were able to list for financing and the experience that we gain as a result of this public listing, similar to a listing on the stock exchange.

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.
Raluca Jianu

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!
