The business model is event-driven professional services, generating revenue through event management, partnership sponsorships, prize coordination, managed investor network services, and corporate training/consulting. Seed&Click serves three primary segments: early-stage startups and entrepreneurs seeking funding and visibility, angel investors and formal investor networks seeking curated deal flow, and corporations seeking external innovation pipelines.
