incredible leadership by @rsohoni and @cee and all he amazing @seedcamp alum (so many to name by for sure @pmoe springs to mind) - just another major poitn of light pn how far we'e come in 19 years - i remember our firt cohort ike it was yesterday 👏👏👏

[Seb Johnson @SebJohnsonUK]

Seedcamp has raised a huge $320m for its 7th early stage fund and $100m to double down on its winners!

The firm was co-founded in 2007 by @rsohoni and @cape with a $2.5m fund.

It's now led by Reshma and Carlos and manages an insane $1bn AUM.

It's become one of the leading early-stage funds in Europe. @seedcamp Fund III has now returned over 13x DPI to its LPs, and Fund IV sits at over 5x net TVPI.

Some of the companies it has backed include @RevolutApp, @Wise, @UiPath, @SynthesiaIO and @fluidstack.

Today it is announced raising an additional $320m.

The money is split with $220m for Seedcamp VII, the flagship first check fund, and $100m for the Select fund, which focuses primarily on backing portfolio winners as they scale toward Series B and beyond.

I spoke to Will Bennett to get all the details about the new fund.

Built an app to generate bedtime stories for my daughter. Then had Claude Code review the codebase and build an interactive learning experience into it so I could understand how the app works e2e. Coding agents are without a doubt the best tools to learn how software works.

@matthewclifford Clearly a hard learned lesson :)

The UK has more Unicorns 🦄 and $100M+ revenue Thoroughbreds 🐎 than France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands combined.

Yet, the narrative is often one of economic decline. @cape’s latest piece in @ObserverUK UK argues that the UK is sitting on a massive, underpriced long-term asset: its innovation economy.

With $21bn in VC funding this year and a massive push into Deep Tech, the "gloomy sentiment" simply doesn't match the data.

Is the UK doing enough to appreciate and support its tech?
