SeedBlink is a crowd investment platform that provides tech startups from Romania, CEE, and beyond, with an opportunity to raise additional funds from smaller investors.

Among other advantages, a SeedBlink campaign is a perfect opportunity for a startup to engage its customers as stakeholders.

The platform’s most famous portfolio companies include Dronamics, Rayscape (ex-XVision), and Bright Spaces.
