Symbid N.V. (OTCMKTS:SINC) is a Netherlands-based financial technology company that operates an equity crowdfunding platform designed to connect early-stage businesses and small- to midsize enterprises (SMEs) with private and institutional investors. Since its founding in 2011, Symbid has facilitated the raising of growth capital for startups and SMEs by allowing them to launch funding campaigns directly on its secure, online marketplace. The platform provides entrepreneurs with tools for pitch creation, investor engagement, and campaign management, while offering investors access to diversified private-company opportunities that were traditionally available only to venture capital firms.
In addition to its flagship crowdfunding marketplace, Symbid offers white-label “Crowd as a Service” solutions, enabling financial institutions, industry associations, and corporate partners to host their own branded funding portals. These turnkey solutions include regulatory compliance support, due diligence services, marketing assistance and end-to-end campaign administration. By leveraging Symbid’s proprietary technology stack and compliance framework, partners can tap into the growing demand for alternative financing without building a platform from scratch.
Historically, Symbid was among the first licensed equity-crowdfunding platforms in the European Union, securing approval from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) in 2012. Over the years, the company has expanded its footprint beyond the Netherlands to serve entrepreneurs and investors in key European markets such as Germany and Spain. Its international reach is complemented by localized support teams that guide issuers through country-specific legal requirements, investor relations best practices, and post-offering reporting obligations.
Leadership at Symbid comprises seasoned professionals in fintech and capital markets. The company is helmed by CEO Arno Elias Steffens, who has over two decades of experience in financial services and technology innovation. Symbid’s management team also includes experts in legal, compliance, and investor relations functions, ensuring that both issuers and investors receive guidance throughout the funding lifecycle. Headquartered in Amsterdam, Symbid continues to develop its platform capabilities, with a focus on streamlining deal flow, enhancing investor protections, and expanding its suite of value-added services for the evolving crowdfunding ecosystem.
