About

Seedcamp is a highly esteemed startup accelerator based in Europe, started in 2007. It provides early-stage investments and acts as a catalyst for startups, helping them grow from idea generation to building successful businesses.

In terms of funding, Seedcamp offers an initial £100,000 in exchange for a 7.5% equity stake in the business, alongside follow-on funding of up to £2 million through their network partners. They have a notable portfolio of over 300 companies, including success stories such as TransferWise, Revolut, and UiPath.

TransferWise, a money transfer service, is an alumnus of Seedcamp and is now valued at over £3.5 billion, with customers across the globe. Another successful Seedcamp alumni, Revolut, is a digital banking alternative famous across Europe and is at present valued at over £4.2 billion.

UiPath, an enterprise robotic process automation software company, is another startup that benefited from Seedcamp's accelerator programme. It is now valued at over £7 billion and has clients across the world.

Seedcamp's success can be attributed in large part to their team, which comprises some of the best minds in the business. Reshma Sohoni, the founding partner, has been recognized as one of the top 100 most influential people in the digital industry.

Seedcamp has not only been significant for its impact on individual companies but also for its wider impact on the European startup and VC ecosystem. They have set high standards and demonstrated the potential of European startups to the global stage.
