Four Big Services under One Umbrella
‘Four key services are included in the new all-in-one platform: Equity, Ventures, Syndicates, and Secondaries. They all have one thing in common – Equity. It was a natural move to bring everything under the same umbrella, and for the time being, we’re focusing on developing these four services, as each is complex. SeedBlink Equity integrates Nimity features under one single brand. We’re not abandoning Nimity, but we’re simply ‘parking’ it for now,’ SeedBlink’s chief product and marketing officer Adriana Iordan explains.
More specifically, SeedBlink’s new all-in-one platform integrates four services:
- SeedBlink Equity is a comprehensive module of services that help companies manage their equity efficiently and transparently and make educated strategic equity decisions. These services include cap table management, relevant employee stock option plans, simulations, stakeholder governance, and portfolio management among others.
