Ventures
May 2024 (Last update)
Joining SeedBlink is free of charge. Investors only pay if they invest, and all fees are charged after the signing of the investment contracts. An indicative fee is shown before committing to an investment.
On successful investments (in case the startup is sold or becomes a public company, or you sell it through the secondary market), SeedBlink applies a success fee on the profits from the investment (carried interest) depending on the investment infrastructure used (SPV or Nominee).
We earn this portion of our fees only when you make a profit.
Towards the startup, SeedBlink acts as a single point of contact and takes care of all ongoing administrative work related to the investment.
We charge the fees after the signing of the investment contracts.
We offer a tiered fee structure designed to accommodate investors of varying levels, General, Elite or Club members, and tailored to different types of investment rounds.
All fees (access fee, nominee fee for the first year) are prepaid, except the success fee, which is only paid at the time of a realized return (i.e. exit, selling the shares).

Transaction fee (3%)

If the Seller makes a profit, then the carry fee will be charged on any profit earned.
If you have made a profit on your investment, as explained above, you will also be charged a carry fee on your net profit - after the transaction fee has been removed. Note that not all shares will be eligible for the Secondary Market, and even if they are, the ability to buy and sell shares will depend on demand.
Liquidity is not guaranteed on the secondary market.
*All the fees presented will be applied for the Nominee investment infrastructure, starting with the 10th of April 2023. The investments made before this date will respect the previous fee structure.
