About

Seedcamp is one of the leading European seed funds. Seedcamp usually leads the first investment in a promising startup with a cheque of £100K for 7.5% equity. We will also co-invest in seed rounds alongside other investors. We tend to focus on European founders but we will in certain circumstances invest outside this geography. Our global HQ is in London at the Google Campus. We are sector agnostic. We focus on backing world-class founders creating valuable, tech businesses for sufficiently large addressable markets. We want you to be solving big problems for big markets. We aren't afraid to take risks so you shouldn't be afraid to be ambitious and far reaching. We believe investing at the earliest stage is the greatest asset we can bring to your company. Whether it's finding product market fit, founder disputes, building out your sales and marketing capabilities or introductions to our global network, we provide you with a carefully curated core team and community of incredible people across the world to help you build your business.

Entrepreneur First
Entrepreneur First is an accelerator program for very early stage (idea-stage) startups in Europe and Asia. EF is the ideal place to find aco-founder and build a technology startup from scratch. It is a highly charged environment designed to bring people together and help them realise their potential. We pioneered this model, and over the past seven years, we've built more startups this way than anyone else. Our cohorts run every six months in Europe and Asia, with between 50 and 100 people on each. The programme is full-time as we believe building a successful company requires full-time commitment. The programme has two stages: Form is where you find a co-founder and develop your idea. Launch is where you get your team funded and begin building your company. As you build your team in the Form stage, we will support you to develop and refine an idea and provide a stipend. Some people join us with a clear sense of what they want to build; others join us while they are still exploring. Either way we help you to find an idea which exploits your own personal competitive advantage - your Edge. At the end of Form, you pitch to our Investment Committee to receive funding and join Launch, the second part of the programme. It's highly competitive and we don't fund every team - only those that have the potential to become globally important companies. Once you join Launch, you will receive the first investment in your company. Over six months you and your co-founder take part in structured training and work with our dedicated advisors to accelerate your growth. At the start of Launch, we make the first investment in your company. We invest £80,000 in London, Paris and Berlin and S$75,000 in Singapore, Bangalore and Hong Kong, plus the stipends already paid, for 10% of your company. EF is backed by some of the world's best entrepreneurs, including the founders of LinkedIn, DeepMind and Paypal, as well as top VCs from Silicon Valley and Europe.
