Undelucram.ro, Romania's largest online employee community, wants to raise €400,000 through European co-investment platform SeedBlink. The total round is €1 million and will be used to strengthen international expansion and develop its own artificial intelligence technology.
The round is supported by GapMinder (€200,000) and Sofia Angels Ventures, a Bulgarian fund investing €400,000 in this round. On the other hand, this is the third round in which GapMinder invests in Undelucram, the previous financings being in 2021 and 2019.
Undelucram has attracted so far investments of €800,000 in three rounds (2017, 2019 and 2021).
Undelucram is a regional network of online employer branding and recruitment platforms that was launched in 2011 by entrepreneur Costin Tudor. It provides information about employers, salaries, benefits and how job interviews are conducted.
The platform has over one million regional users and plans to reach 4.5 million by the end of 2024. The company's management also aims to have sales in seven countries by the end of 2024.
Operations in 14 countries. The company started expanding into Asia and Africa this year
Undelucram operates in 14 countries: Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, Ukraine, Moldova, Czech Republic, Poland and MENA (Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and Emirates). The company started to expand regionally in 2019, and as of this year has operations outside Europe.
Undelucram's platforms are in the local language and dedicated to each country. The community operates on a business-to-business model based on an annual subscription, and the service is for both Employer Branding and Online Recruitment areas. The platform is based on machine learning algorithms and aggregated user data that match the candidates' interests in the job market with those of employers.
"Our project and future plans have helped and will further contribute to the transparency of the international labor market. We choose to see the investment in Undelucram as a vote of confidence that once again confirms the growth trend of our company. I invite potential investors who want to maximize their revenues and at the same time contribute to a fair and balanced labor market to participate in this new round opened by Seedblink for the development of new technologies and the consolidation of international expansion", says Costin Tudor, founder and CEO of Undelucram Platforms.
"The good results and the team have led us to be with Undelucram again, a company that we are confident can change the labor market through transparency. It is also essential for us the management's vision of international expansion, and during the last three years Undelucram has made great steps outside Romania", says Sergiu Roșca, founding partner GapMinder.
“Undelucram has developed a very scalable growth model in the HR platform space where employers and employees have a new way to engage transparently and match their needs. The team has strong understanding of Digital Marketing, Tech & HR with good execution skills, skin-in-the game and willingness to learn and progress fast. We believe that this investment opportunity can deliver a good ROI and the sales plan is very realistic and validated by recent market traction”, declares Milen Ivanov, Managing Partner Sofia Angels Ventures.
"As investors in technology, we have seen how user-generated content is transforming some of the most mature industries, and Undelucram has a solution that addresses a very large market in areas left untouched by the big players of the industry. Undelucram has built a solid business that is well positioned to further influence and drive the online recruitment and employer branding market. We are excited to support their new round of funding on SeedBlink with the help of our community of individual investors”, states Andrei Dudoiu, Managing Partner at SeedBlink.

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.

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!
