The Dristor Kebap Group announces the official launch of its investment campaign on the SeedBlink platform, through which investors can participate in the company’s next stage of development with a minimum investment of 2,500 euros. The campaign begins with a target of 1 million euros and may be expanded to 2 million euros, representing the first phase of a broader capital-raising program of up to 5 million euros aimed at expanding the network, investing in technology, and strengthening the group’s operational infrastructure.
The first 2 million euros raised are at a 33% discount to a valuation of 10 million euros, and 500,000 euros have already been committed by investors prior to the public offering.
“In recent years, we have consistently invested in infrastructure, technology, and people to build a company capable of growing on a national scale. Today, we have a proven business model, a mature team, and a platform that can support the next stage of our development. Opening the company to investors is a natural step in Dristor Kebap’s evolution and an opportunity to accelerate the plans we’ve laid out for the coming years,” says Fatih Pakcan, Founder and CEO of the Dristor Kebap Group.
At the same time with the campaign conducted through SeedBlink, the company is in discussions with various categories of investors, including investment funds and institutional investors interested in participating in the next stage of the Dristor Kebap Group’s development.
2030 goals: 25 restaurants, 43 million euros in revenue, and nationwide expansion
The funds raised will support the expansion of the restaurant network, the development of digital infrastructure, the automation of operations, and the increase in production capacity.
The company currently operates 12 wholly-owned restaurants and aims to expand to 25 locations by 2030. The strategy includes the development of complementary formats, such as drive-thrus and locations dedicated to online orders, as well as the expansion of production and logistics capabilities. In the long term, the goal is to triple the company’s valuation by exceeding the 50 million euro revenue threshold and preparing to enter the capital market.
“Dristor Kebap is the first Romanian fast-food brand to invite its customers to become shareholders. We want to offer people who join us now the opportunity to triple their investment by 2030. The listing on SeedBlink is the first step in a plan that we hope will culminate in a public stock market listing,” explains Eric Bartha, Corporate Development Advisor.
“In 25 years, Dristor Kebap has become one of the best-known brands in the local hospitality industry, and today it is opening up to external investors for the first time. We’re talking about a profitable business with €17M in revenue, not an early-stage tech investment. More and more investors are asking us for these types of opportunities, which diversify their portfolios with a different risk profile. And we want SeedBlink to eventually become the financing infrastructure for companies like this as well,” adds Andrei Dudoiu, CEO & Co-founder of SeedBlink.
