FieldOS, a start-up that has launched a mobile solution to solve the real-time problems that a physical asset would have, is targeting a round of €620,000, of which €200,000 on SeedBlink, an investment platform that enables the financing of European technology start-ups. The sum will be used mainly for the company’s international expansion, in the restaurant segment in the US and in the office and residential building area in the UK.
The €420,000 round is mainly invested by Liviu Munteanu and Mihai Guran, two of Romania’s best-known business angels, plus the technology provider IT Genetics.
Through this software, the employees of the companies that own and use physical assets (such as pieces of equipment, types of machinery, properties) can participate in real-time with the support teams and contractors to solve problems that may occur in certain locations or on different equipments. This makes the collaboration between customers/employees and the support teams/contractors a direct one.
The platform ensures that everyone involved (customers, employees, support teams) stays connected during the problem-resolution process through the automated dispatch rules, smart alerts and escalation protocols. The solution is available on mobile devices and allows users to signals the issues to the support teams, discuss or exchange photo and videos, as well as attempt to solve issues by themselves. The software has been designed to be easy to use on all types of mobile device screens.
The solution was launched in January 2020 by Cristian Dragomir (CEO) and Ion Gavrilescu (Managing Director), two specialists with 20 years of experience in the technology.
FieldOS was created following a €500,000 European grant in 2019 and with the support of partners such as Wipro, Ubisoft, Assa Abloy Hospitality, Grand Hotel Bucharest (formerly Intercontinental), Sheraton, ECO-X, Helinick, Trust Center, Hercesa.
The company targets to double turnover this year
Companies using FieldOS include AFI Europe, AFI Malls, Therme Bucuresti, Dussmann, SaladBox, SVN, Exclusive Facility Management Services, etc.
The company had a turnover of 270,000 Euros last year and the management estimates the business wiil be around 600,000 Euros in 2023.
“We created FieldOS to support those who work in the field, whether they are users of the equipment or people responsible for making a certain place functional and productive, whether they are members of support teams or contractors. When the equipment is not working, it is important that people communicate directly and continuously with those who can solve their problems. It is essential that the information to travel the shortest path between these two parties to reduce the time that a piece of equipment is not working, that a place is not productive. What differentiates us from other management and collaboration solutions is that the solution is also designed to be used by non-technical staff on the mobile devices”, said Cristian Dragomir, CEO of FieldOS.

“The technology gap between office-based and field-based employees will close rapidly over the next decade. We believe that the development of dedicated software for the field staff will have the same transformative effect that the SaaS revolution has had on office work, and FieldOs has the qualities needed to be part of this movement, with major customers in its portfolio, ambition and scalable technology”, said Andrei Dudoiu, Founder and Managing Partner of 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.

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!
