History
Seedcamp was set up in 2007 in an attempt to foster entrepreneurship and star-up buisnessess in Europe, which the organisers of Seedcamp saw as lacking in Europe especially when compared to the USA. Since its first annual event in September 2007, Seedcamp has grown and ran a total of eight events in 2009.
Impact
The grand prize of up to €50,000 and three months support in London has helped many of the winning teams reach profitability in amazingly short time.
