Mini Seedcamp Belgrade will be our inaugural event taking place in Serbia and our first Mini Seedcamp of 2013 so we are very excited! We’ve watched the ecosystem grow fast over the years having attended various events there.
Local Partners On the 5th of April, Mini Seedcamp Belgrade is taking place at a spectacular location, the Royal Palace, a mansion part of the Royal Compound. We have a super strong local team on the ground helping us make this happen, huge thank you to Vukasin Stojkov and his team at SEE ICT and our media partner start.it for all their hard work.
Schedule The half-day event is action packed and a concentrated version of our previous Seedcamp events. It will showcase some of the best emerging startups from the region, each of which will present to a panel and receive immediate feedback. The schedule also includes a masterclass by Carlos Espinal, a panel discussion and plenty of networking allowing you to connect with other key figures in web technology from Serbia and further afield.
Who should apply? Local and regional startups who are seeking exposure, advice, and want to increase their network, this is the event for you. It’s an opportunity to gain feedback on your startup, meet other entrepreneurs in an informal environment and get to know Seedcamp.
Apply to a Mini Seedcamp, Seedcamp Week or both? We’ve stepped up our activities this year and aim to host Mini Seedcamp events in more than 20 cities primarily across Europe. For startups this means more opportunities to interact with us. Stepping into a relationship with an investor is a key decision for any startup. Like any long-term partnership you want to ensure both parties are a good match. Mini Seedcamps allow startups to learn about our investment opportunities with the chance of being fast tracked to the next Seedcamp Week event where investment decisions are made. In essence there is nothing stopping you from applying to multiple events strengthening your chances of meeting us face to face and joining the Seedcamp Family!
Founders Pack The finalists of the event will each be given our Finalist Founders’ Pack, which we’re super proud of. It contains offers from corporates including AWS, Google and Bitly. It’s monetary value exceeds €50k and is crucial for helping early stage bootstrapped teams grow.
AngelList Teams can now apply to present their companies at Mini Seedcamp Belgrade on AngelList. As most startups will know AngelList is a platform to meeting investors, peers, advertise APIs and jobs. If you’re not already on there you really should be!

Planvine pitching Andreessen Horowitz
After our whistle-stop tour of the startup ecosystem on the East coast of the US, the teams flew West for seven more action-packed days including two more mentoring days in Mountain View at Google and in San Francisco at Microsoft.
For the third, and final, leg of the trip we were in San Francisco and Silicon Valley where the teams visited great startups such as Airbnb, AngelList, Dropbox, SoundCloud, Square, Stripe and Twitter along with more established companies such as Amazon A9.com, Facebook, Google, IDEO, Microsoft and Paypal.
There was also plenty of pitching to be done, with the teams presenting their companies to great investors including 500 Startups, AME Cloud Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Felicis Ventures, Greylock Partners, Index Ventures, Morado Venture Partners, NEA, OATV, SoftTechVC and Valar Ventures.
After seven days in California the official part of the Seedcamp US trip came to an end, with teams returning to London, staying in the US to follow up with people they met or traveling to Austin for SXSW Interactive.
Take a look at the daily recaps of the third part of the trip, in San Francisco and Silicon Valley:

2013 brings the return of Mini Seedcamps Mini Seedcamps have been at the heart of our activity from day one, and in many ways define our core values. We met some of our most successful teams by traveling to their cities and have pledged to keep this activity going. We’ve discovered entrepreneurial talent in all corners of the world and our 88 investments originate from over 30 countries. Seedcamp’s Family is truly a global one and we want to continue this tradition by visiting key cities and exploring new regions.
Local Partners During the last 5 years we’ve met incredible local champions who are pioneering their cities into startup hubs and boosting the local startup community.

Seedcamp Boston Mentoring Day
After a busy few days in New York, the teams headed to Boston to learn more about the local startup scene and to take part in the second mentoring day of the US trip, held at hack/reduce.
On our first day in Boston, we paid visits to thoughtbot, Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC), Boundless Learning and RunKeeper. We also met with a Seedcamp team that had recently opened an office in Boston, uberVU, who had put together a great panel who discussed moving to the US. On the second day, we held our second mentoring day of the trip at hack/reduce. We were joined by great mentors from the Boston startup scene and top investors from all the top local funds. After the mentoring ended, we were privileged to have been invited to the ‘Built in Boston: An Open Ecosystem Event for Founders’ with great speakers such as Fred Destin (Atlas Venture), Rob Go (Next View Ventures), Robin Chase (Founder, Zipcar, Buzzcar) and Dharmesh Shah (Founder, Hubspot).
