Golee, a SaaS solution for the digitization of Sport Clubs and Federations, aims to attract financing worth 800,000 Euro, out of which 300,000 on SeedBlink.
The investment round is supported by 7 Investment, the office of Moratti family, former owners of Inter Milan, Maria Lucia Chivilo, and the Italian National VC Fund through a 500.000 Euro investment. The funds will be directed towards product development, sales, customer service, and the company’s expansion on other European markets, such as Spain, Portugal, France, in the next months.
“Our vision is to give equal possibilities to all actors of the sports environment by providing access to innovation and technology. Our work empowers people to have more time for sport, creating new tools to simplify work and manage information. The product is made to scale because it is thought to be operated by anybody and the priority is towards the completeness and usability for the users. In the next three years, we intend to monetize communities with the development of B2C and B2B2C features for families, fans and athletes, integrate third parties to sell and test their products, expand internationally and become the European market leader”, states Tommaso Guerra, CEO.
Golee is the one-stop solution that completely digitizes the activities of sports clubs, athletes, and others involved in the ecosystem, a SaaS solution that has the ability to organize all daily operations in a single platform.
Golee facilitates and standardizes the way sports associations work, creating a suitable platform to collect statistics that users can compare and improve. The product gives universal guidelines to ease communication and unify the database of the sports world, allowing every person in a sports association to access managers, secretaries, coaches, athletes, parents, supporters.
For example, secretaries can check medical examination deadlines, payment of fees, health care documents; coaches can organize sports activities and monitor training sessions, matches and tournaments; parents can pay the fees, attend events and see the progress of their children.
“We’re pleased to announce Golee’s campaign on SeedBlink, as this is the first Italian startup on the platform. The digitalization trend fueled by the pandemic is a great boost for Golee’s Sportstech solution – I believe SeedBlink is perfectly positioned to benefit from the growth of the sector and support both Italian investors and tech start-ups looking to expand at full speed along the way,” said Andrei Dudoiu, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at SeedBlink.“SeedBlink is a crowd investing platform where investors find the safest investment conditions, while tech start-ups find a professional working environment as well as the availability they are looking for. With the help of our team members in Milan, we are confident that in 2022 there will be several high-growth Italian start-ups on SeedBlink and numerous visionary investors supporting them. Stay tuned as we will be closing some exciting partnerships and deals soon,” he added.
The target for 2022: 5.000 clubs, 500.000-euro annual revenues, close a Series A investment
The company was founded in late 2018 following a 2.3-million-euro initial investment. For 2022 the management targets a turnover in value of 500.000 euro, 5000 sports clubs, and closing a Series A investment. The platform is now used by 2.500 clubs, among which Atalanta, Venezia, Palermo, Bari, has 250.000 unique users and enjoys a 95% retention rate.

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.

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!
