Capacity Building for Europe’s Next Generation Technology Entrepreneurs

What is Seedcamp?

• What Seedcamp is:– A micro-seed investor (€50K investment)– A year-long program designed to help

companies– A network of the best mentors and investors

globally

• What Seedcamp is not:– Just another business plan competition– An open event – it is by invitation-only– A conference – the content is designed

specifically to benefit the companies

What do Seedcamp Companies get?

(other than money…)• Monthly events & speakers that focus around topics such as

sales, financing, product development, and human resources.• Our USA trip where we travel across the USA to meet

Investors and amazing companies. • Our Learning Forum, Seedcamp Week, where companies

undergo a week long mentoring bootcamp by the investment community in London

• A ‘Demo Day’ where our companies can present the progress they’ve made on their product.

• An ‘Investor Day’ where we bring together our top investors to see how our companies are doing and to have a chance to speak with them 1:1.

• A 'Founders pack’ of free or reduced rate services for our companies.

• Lastly, the personal time that the Seedcamp team commits to the winning teams, particularly the three months following our investment and the mentoring provided by our mentors

WHY SEEDCAMP?

Europe Needs Seedcamp

Severe gap in micro seed funding not filled by any equity asset class

Need to form a cohesive network of entrepreneurs and experts across Europe

As capital required to start up drops, we need venture accelerators that are also capital efficient in how they fund startups
