The new platform allows European and Bulgarian technology startups and stakeholders to access, manage and trade equity through a combination of tech infrastructure, financial services and network coverage, SeedBlink said in a press release. The company's traditional and newly launched products are integrated into this solution.
The platform uses a data-driven, AI-powered approach and includes four key services to facilitate investment and equity management - SeedBlink Equity, previously Nimity, SeedBlink Ventures, SeedBlink Syndicates and SeedBlink Secondaries.
"Today, we are an ecosystem of solutions that supports technology startups and scaleups in their quest for exponential growth, integrating financing services, retention of key employees, effective communication with investors, and early liquidity options. Our focus remains on simplifying complex equity management processes and providing strategic investment opportunities," SeedBlink CEO Carmen Sebe said.
In Bulgaria, the solution will enhance the management of equity tools like Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs), boosting adoption rates and enabling companies to drive growth by retaining key talent via equity incentives.
"As Europe establishes itself as a major hub for technological innovation, we are seeing a dynamic investment scene accompanied by the challenges of a still-diverse regulatory framework. SeedBlink's platform is pivotal, driving technology forward and simplifying complexities, making us a key catalyst for growth across Europe, including Bulgaria," SeedBlink director for Southeast Europe (SEE) Angel Hadjiev said.
Since it was set up in 2020, SeedBlink has mobilised 374 million euro ($407 million) in startup investments for over 350 companies from 15 countries and reported over 1 billion euro in asset ownership.
Last month, SeedBlink launched its ESOP Design programme in Bulgaria, a comprehensive solution for startup employee equity compensation adapted to the local legal and tax environment.
