Before
"I wish this venue existed"

Typical startup costs for a small venue
Close the Gap
Opening a small venue in Belgium typically requires 15,000€–50,000€. Banks are slow, bureaucratic, and often say no to first-time founders. Seedly bridges the gap.
Why We Built This
We saw a gap between passionate local entrepreneurs and the communities that would love their businesses.

We're four people who love neighborhoods that feel alive—the kind with independent spots on every corner. We built Seedly because we think communities should have a say in what opens next door.
Jade
Solvay student with a passion for entrepreneurship. The one who turns 'what if' into 'what's next'.
Pauline
Law student at ULB. The legal backbone that makes community funding actually work.
Ines
Explores new cities through café hopping, hip streets, and restaurants with less than 100 reviews.
Raph
Remote worker who's made Brussels cafés his office. Watched Saint-Gilles become the city's most vibrant spot.
