"SeedBlink has been incredible in connecting us with a community of investors who share our passion for innovation and sustainability, and are equally committed to making a positive impact on the future."— Denis Tudor, CEO, Swisspod

Context and issue

Swisspod stands as a leader in hyperloop technology, stemming from a visionary discussion between its founders and Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX. As one of the few successful companies in a field where many have faltered, the company sought to secure substantial investment to further accelerate its innovative transportation solutions.

The challenge

Swisspod needed to expand its investor base beyond traditional backers to include disruptive, forward-thinking, and willing to embrace high-risk ventures investors — those who could provide more than financial support by contributing valuable industry insights and connections.

Solution: SeedBlink Ventures - Equity Crowdfunding

SeedBlink Ventures provided Swisspod with a dynamic infrastructure & network that allowed the company to execute an equity crowdfunding round & raise the needed capital.

"Our partnership with SeedBlink has only grown stronger over time. Their team has demonstrated a deep understanding of what it takes to bring real innovation, like Hyperloop, to life, and provided invaluable strategic guidance throughout our campaign. They have shown a deep commitment to both our success and maintaining a high standard for investors. They not only met but exceeded our expectations, so after a successful first round, were turned for a second, and now we’re on our third. Most importantly, beyond just raising funds, Seedblink helped us build meaningful connections with visionary investors, and we’re excited to continue our partnership."

— Denis Tudor, CEO, Swisspod.
