Seedcamp kicks off its biggest week yet
![](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,<svg height="52" width="370" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1"/>)
Over 600 teams applied over the year of nine Mini Seedcamps, finally coming up with teams from 16 different countries and 19 different cities. Although Seedcamp pinged to South Africa, Israel and even Asia this year, their hard core remains Europe, and the above data points show just how intense you have to be to suck out startups from such a wide area. If you’re just in Silicon Valley, thank your lucky stars you only have to drive up and down the 101.
Here’s Seedcamp’s summary of the contenders. At the end of the week a handful will win funding of €50,000 for a 5-10% stake in each company, who will get a further 3 months of intensive mentoring.
