About Seedcamp

What you get

Seedcamp is a European seed fund that runs a platform of founder support around its investments rather than a fixed-date batch. Its FAQ says the first cheque is usually between $350K and $1.25M, as a convertible or equity, agreed with you deal by deal. Portfolio companies get access to Seedcamp's network, expert advice and community.

Who qualifies

Seedcamp is sector-agnostic and focuses on companies based in Europe and Israel, or with a clearly European angle. It backs companies from pre-product and pre-revenue through early revenue. If you have already raised more than a couple of million dollars you are probably not a fit.

Good to know

  • Equity: not stated; it depends on the round.
  • Process: an initial call, then a follow-up or due diligence by email, then a 45-minute partner pitch. Seedcamp aims to finish within two weeks of the first meeting.
  • Deadlines: none; you pitch whenever you are ready.

Verdict

A strong first institutional investor for European founders who want a sizeable cheque without a fixed batch. It works like a seed fund, so expect normal seed dilution rather than fixed accelerator terms.
