SeedBlink

SeedBlink is the leadest European tech-powered investing platform enabling individuals and institutions to start investing in European tech startups and scale-ups, joining rounds together with the leading Venture Capital firms at the same terms.

Alternative investment opportunities in the area are limited. 

Angel investing isn't as widespread: 

1. A company structure isn't as flexible to accommodate equity distribution.
2. Due diligence on startup performance requires in-depth expertise vetting businesses.
3. Minimum tickets are high.
4. Tracking company performance is complicated.
5. Finding opportunities that VCs seek is a hit or miss.

SeedBlink solves all of that - and helps you sign up and join a company funding round for as little as several thousand dollars/euro in minutes. 

As an angel investor myself, supporting multiple businesses via SeedBlink, I help executives, managers, young investors make their first steps in investing - and foreign investors tap into the local ecosystem and existing deals.
