SeedBlink launches CORE: the digital co-pilot that trains European founders like Olympic athletes

SeedBlink, the European infrastructure platform for private capital markets, is changing the way European founders raise capital, with the launch of CORE: a digital co-pilot that turns fundraising from a marathon into a structured sprint.

Built on the experience gained from evaluating over 15,000 startups, of which 2% have been funded with €78 million through the SeedBlink community, CORE addresses the real problem: founders fail not because of their ideas, but because current funding options are manual and fragmented.

In a European market where raising capital often feels like an unfair race – expensive, bureaucratic and limited to exclusive networks – CORE brings fairness and standardizes the process. For just €50 per month, the platform gives all founders the tools they need to enter the funding arena like an Olympic athlete: prepared, visible, and ready to compete at an accelerated pace.

“Today’s funding process is slow, expensive, and favors the well-connected,” said Radu Georgescu, Chairman of SeedBlink. “CORE is a game-changer. For the cost of a dinner, any founder has access to the same tools, visibility, and infrastructure that were previously inaccessible and reserved for only a select few. The real risk isn’t trying. It’s waiting.”

Through CORE, founders have access to:

• An AI assistant that provides instant recommendations on funding terms, round structuring strategies, or investor questions.

• Detailed feedback on pitch decks, plus ready-to-use templates, from financial estimates to financing agreements.

• A Spotlight profile on SeedBlink, a “LinkedIn for Funding,” which gives startups exposure to thousands of European investors and feedback on their company.

• And when they’re ready, founders can open a private investment round in less than 72 hours with a unique shareable link. Round progress is tracked in real time, and all the administrative work is handled entirely by SeedBlink.

“I applaud SeedBlink’s initiative to create the digital tools that European founders need today,” said Daniel Dunose, CEO & Co-founder of Brainactive, an early adopter of CORE. “A way to prepare and raise capital from your network without being bogged down by high costs or complicated processes. Finally, funding feels like a process where you set the rules.”

A plus for accelerators and incubators

Beyond individual founders, CORE is also a powerful tool for accelerators and incubators in Europe. They offer startups that go through their programs an accessible path to funding, allowing them to get direct feedback from investors and validate their ideas faster. With practical and intuitive tools at their disposal, startups are helped to grow even after Demo Day.

“At SeedBlink, it’s not just about product development, it’s about rewriting the rules of the game for European founders. At AcceleronX, we see CORE as more than a tool. It’s a discipline, a mindset and a game changer for young entrepreneurs ready to compete globally. Europe doesn’t lack ideas, it lacks infrastructure, and CORE provides it, equipping founders with the tools and confidence to compete with experienced players,” said Alex Cernătescu, CEO and co-founder of Stefanini Infinit, investor and founding partner and president of AcceleronX / EXEDA.

The first league is accessible

An early-stage financing round in Europe takes an average of 6–9 months and often ends without a result. CORE changes the model: a digital co-pilot that prepares startups faster, makes them visible earlier and helps them turn investor interest into concrete investments. By reducing the challenges associated with funding, CORE allows founders to spend less time executing a round and more time growing their company.

This launch is part of SeedBlink’s broader mission to build the infrastructure of the private market in Europe, covering the entire funding lifecycle: preparation, execution and shareholder management.
