Dutch-based Symbid, an investing platform that specialises in sourcing, vetting, financing, and scaling tech startups, announced on Tuesday that it has been acquired by Romania’s SeedBlink, a co-investment platform in tech startups.
The deal is expected to accelerate SeedBlink’s coverage of Europe as a whole, expanding its geographic reach into CEE and Benelux, while furthering its goal of consolidating and constructing the equity investment infrastructure for European tech startups at all phases of development.
The companies are currently working to integrate the teams, customers, brands, services, and technologies, which is expected to be completed in early 2023.
Co-investment platform for tech startups and scaleups in Europe
Founded in 2011 by Dutch entrepreneurs Robin Slakhorst and Korstiaan Zandvliet, Symbid claims to be one of the first investment crowdfunding platforms in the world. Since its inception, the firm has built a community of 50,000 investors in startups, mainly from the Benelux.
