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.
