Seedcamp announced that it has raised $320 million to invest in the next generation of global companies. The new capital includes $220 million for Seedcamp VII, the firm’s flagship first-check fund, and $100 million for its Select fund, which is focused primarily on backing portfolio companies as they scale toward Series B and beyond.
Seedcamp was founded in 2007 and has been an early backer of companies including Revolut, Wise, UiPath, Synthesia, and Fluidstack.
The firm launched with a $2.5 million first fund and now manages more than $1 billion in assets under management. Seedcamp said Fund III has returned more than 13x DPI to limited partners, while Fund IV is at more than 5x net TVPI.
Seedcamp typically invests as the first institutional investor and leads most of its initial checks. More than 80 founders previously backed by Seedcamp have reinvested in the fund.
With Fund VII, Seedcamp said it is deepening its focus on early-stage investing in Europe while expanding its U.S. team to help founders build global companies from day one.
The firm described the strategy as a transatlantic bridge designed to connect founders with U.S. capital, commercial and technical hiring networks, and customer access.
Seedcamp said its next phase will focus on founders building across AI, science, and the physical world. Recent investments include space manufacturing company BioOrbit, autonomous robotics developer Sunrise Robotics, and AI agent company Dust.
The firm operates with a seven-person investment team across London and New York.
KEY QUOTES:
“The last 20 years of European tech created companies that proved Europe could win. The next 20 will create companies that define entire industries globally from day one. That shift is already happening – and our job is to back the founders building before everyone else sees it.”
Carlos Espinal, Managing Partner at Seedcamp
“Ambitious founders don’t want to be coddled; they want the sharpest opinion around the table when the stakes are highest. By bridging our day one investment with a high-velocity US platform, we ensure our founders are in the room where it matters from the very start.”
Reshma Sohoni, Managing Partner at Seedcamp
“There was a time when European founders waited for permission to dominate global markets. That era is over. Whether it’s a teenage dropout in Warsaw, a repeat founder in Paris, or a deeptech spinout from Zurich, the level of ambition is immediate and total. We’ve expanded our team and US presence to match that drive.”
Sia Houchangnia, Partner at Seedcamp
“We’re at the end of a 20 year software cycle and the beginning of a new technological paradigm where AI increasingly intersects with science and the physical world. What’s exciting is that many of the founders building in that next frontier are emerging from Europe with global ambition from day one. Seedcamp has spent nearly two decades backing founders before the company or category is obvious, and Fund VII is about continuing to support that next generation from the very beginning.”
Tom Wilson, Partner at Seedcamp
