Thus, Community Stars addresses pre-seed start-ups, which target investments ranging between EUR50,000 and EUR300,000.
“From discussions with startups, there is a real need for alternative funding in every European country. We want to team up with local incubators and accelerators to support those entrepreneurs with solid business plans and innovative ideas. Also, this new type of opportunity is accessible with a lower investment ticket to better accommodate the supporters of founders,” said Eric Bartha, Head of Investment Management at SeedBlink.
SeedBlink currently offers three main types of investment rounds, each addressing specific needs of start-ups and investors, such as VC-based rounds, syndications and Community Stars.
„Community Stars thus completes the SeedBlink offer for start-ups and investors, which includes various financing categories, adapted to specific investment needs, but also initiatives such as the Tech Investors Academy, for the education and development of the entrepreneurial system, of Nimity, the equity management solution for companies and their shareholders. Community Stars is on a mission to bring together promising founders with their communities, providing essential support in the early stages of company development”, says Ionut Patrahau, Managing Partner & Business Development at SeedBlink.
The „Community Stars” pilot project is the start-up Unison, which specializes in vegan snacks. In the future, the platform will host a variety of promising early-stage start-ups, fresh graduates of European accelerators, stated SeedBlink representatives.
