Through CORE, they'll build investor-ready profiles, get AI-powered investor matching, receive real pitch feedback, and learn to manage equity from day one.

Bucharest, March 26, 2026 - SeedBlink, Europe's integrated venture deal execution platform, has partnered with EA – The Entrepreneurship Academy to offer 30 students six months of free access to CORE, its fundraising preparation product. It's a partnership born from a simple belief: great ideas shouldn't go unfunded just because founders don't yet know how to navigate the fundraising world.
EA – The Entrepreneurship Academy has spent years proving that student founders, given the right support, can build real businesses. Through dedicated programs, mentorship, and access to capital, some of those businesses have already grown beyond the university walls.
For six months, 30 EA – The Entrepreneurship Academy students will have full access to everything CORE offers:
"At EA – The Entrepreneurship Academy, we don't teach entrepreneurship as theory - we develop entrepreneurs through action. Our students launch real companies while still studying and take responsibility for revenue, teams, and impact from their very first year.
This partnership with SeedBlink strengthens the bridge between education and the startup ecosystem. It gives students access to professional fundraising infrastructure from the earliest stages; not as a shortcut to capital, but as a structured way to understand how growth financing works in the real world.
If we want genuine cultural change toward an entrepreneurial mindset, we need to normalise financial education, transparency, and ethical capital formation from the very beginning. Together with SeedBlink, we're not just supporting individual founders - we're contributing to building a more mature, more accessible, and more responsible entrepreneurial ecosystem in Romania and beyond." said Ioana Ceausu, COO of EA – The Entrepreneurship Academy.
The partnership changes how early-stage funding can work for students. Through CORE, they can aggregate investments from family, friends, the EA – The Entrepreneurship Academy network, and angel investors into professionally managed rounds, and present themselves to a much wider audience than just the university. The same profile that impresses a professor becomes the tool that gets them discovered by an investor in Cluj or Berlin. They receive real feedback from investors, connect with advisors, and learn to manage equity properly - habits that will serve them through Series A and beyond.
"We're thinking long-term," said Andrei Dudoiu, CEO of SeedBlink. "Some of these students will raise their first round this semester. Others might not fundraise for another year. But all of them are learning how professional fundraising works, building muscle memory for something that typically takes founders years to figure out.
If the platform we've built can also help a 20-year-old founder in Bucharest raise capital with confidence and clarity, that's not a detour from our mission - that's exactly why we build. These are the founders who will shape Romania's startup ecosystem in five or ten years. We want to be part of that story from the beginning."
The partnership launches immediately, with ongoing support from both organisations to ensure students make the most of the opportunity.
