SeedBlink launches Secondaries platform with access to Pre-IPO opportunities and European rising stars
Opportunities in mature, later-stage private companies with strong traction and rising stars.
Bucharest, November 26– SeedBlink, the all-in-one equity and investment platform, announces the launch of its dedicated Secondaries platform, providing individual and institutional investors with access to a growing market of secondary investment opportunities. With this platform, SeedBlink democratizes access to opportunities in high-growth private companies, including Pre-IPO leaders like Klarna and regional tech innovators like .lumen.
Having already mobilized over €2 million through six pilot secondary transactions this year, the platform addresses increasing demand for liquidity while enabling portfolio diversification with tech companies at various stages of maturity.
“Secondary markets are evolving rapidly, yet they remain largely inaccessible to private investors,”, said Andrei Dudoiu, CEO of SeedBlink. With SeedBlink Secondaries, we’re changing this dynamic by offering opportunities at entry points as low as €2,500, all while maintaining our commitment to trust and transparency, empowering individual investors to fuel the next wave of global private tech leaders.
Addressing diversification, liquidity and growing market demand
This move marks a significant step in expanding SeedBlink's offering beyond Ventures, Equity and Syndicates, introducing a seamless and trusted platform for purchasing shares in private limited companies that are not deemed transferable securities.
By opening access to the secondary market, SeedBlink strengthens its position in the European market, offering a comprehensive range of private market investment options, by addressing liquidity needs while capitalizing on high-growth sectors. The platform is backed by SeedBlink’s Benelux hub, ensuring the same rigorous standards and investor support.
SeedBlink Secondaries launches with Klarna and .lumen investment opportunities
SeedBlink Secondaries introduces private and institutional investors to new opportunities, starting with Klarna, the Swedish fintech giant. While Klarna is preparing for a US IPO in 2025, SeedBlink is provides access to one of Europe’s most prominent FinTech's at an attractive entry point. The opportunity closes on December 1.
.lumen, the AI-driven DeepTech company developing smart glasses for the visually impaired, is also available on SeedBlink Secondaries. Backed by EIC, .lumen is revolutionizing mobility with technology that enhances navigation and independence, offering investors access to a fast-growing sector at the intersection of AI and assistive technology. The software behind the Glasses – PAD AI – goes beyond the assistive technology market, as it can enable both humanoid and quadruped robots to navigate pedestrian infrastructure worldwide, revolutionizing the world of deliveries. The investment window closes on December 29.
Starting with investment tickets as low as €2,500, SeedBlink Secondaries makes it easier than ever for private investors to access Europe’s most promising tech opportunities.

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.
Costin Tudor

Undelucram
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!
