They invest in technology-oriented companies and are largely industry agnostic.

Experience

In eight years they’ve backed almost 200 companies with one unicorn and 91% have raised further funding to a tune of $350M. 

One of the greatest strengths of Seedcamp is that we approach investing with a view to support our startups as our greatest priority. As such, over the last ten years, we have built and honed a powerful platform based on our experience helping build 240 companies and learning from them on the type of help they crave most. The platform is built on three key pillars: Learning, Network, Capital.

How much do they invest?

At Seedcamp, the view on raising capital is that you should be in a position to choose who you want to take capital from. They are uniquely placed to bring you the best access to smart capital you could possibly have. One of the big reasons for this is that Seedcamp’s own fund is actually invested into by some of the most active Investors in the world. In 80% of the cases where their companies raise follow-on funding, at least one of their Investors are also direct Investors in the companies.

They usually invest in one of three ways:

• €75k for 7% – Our Structured Equity Deal
  We lead and provide that first spark for the most ambitious Founders.

• 3% via our Structured Warrant
  If you've already raised some capital, we help you position for growth.

• Up to €200k in Seed Investment
  Into your round of €300K-2M. We can lead or follow.

This makes a difference to them

They believe the most ambitious founders seek out the smartest capital. Smart capital is more than the money to get you started. To realise your vision you need to tap into a global network of the right Advisors and overcome the challenges you'll face in the fastest possible time. You need to put yourself in a position to have your choice of Talent, Advisors, and Investors, wherever they are across the globe. At Seedcamp, they are that catalyst. We are your first round of smart capital.
