Seedcamp

Seedcamp is one of Europe's oldest and best-known startup accelerators, founded in London in 2007 by Reshma Sohoni and Carlos Eduardo Espinal. Its early model ran intensive pan-European accelerator competitions; over time it evolved into a seed fund that writes pre-seed and seed cheques of £100,000 to £2m into the most promising founders it backs, without retaining a fixed programme structure. The portfolio spans over 500 companies and includes Transferwise (now Wise), Revolut, UiPath, Hopin and Pipefy. Seedcamp is widely credited with catalysing the European seed ecosystem in its first decade and remains one of the fund managers most associated with the London tech scene.

Seedcamp operates from London and manages multiple fund vintages, with total AUM estimated above £200m. Its value proposition to founders extends beyond capital to a global network of advisers, alumni and corporates. The firm has backed companies across fintech, SaaS, marketplace and increasingly deep tech, reflecting the shift in the UK seed market toward Science-led ventures.

Seedcamp participated in BioOrbit's £9.8m in-space drug manufacturing seed in April 2026 alongside LocalGlobe, Breega, Auxxo, Type One and 7percent. The round is the world's largest seed for in-space manufacturing, and Seedcamp's participation reflects the fund's increasing engagement with deep-tech rounds enabled by UK Government regulatory frameworks.
