Guest post from Mattias Ljungman at Atomico:
We’ve been privileged to be involved with SeedCamp right from its early stages, when Saul’s ideas around the initiative were still in their embryonic stage. Our early discussions revolving around how we can strengthen the European entrepreneurial ecosystem have crystallised into the creation of SeedCamp, an initiative that aims to assist budding entrepreneurs in Europe.
The idea is to support young entrepreneurs who show immense promise and vision, and who have the ability to build the next Google, Skype or Ebay. At a week-long SeedCamp, they will be immersed in an environment offering first-hand experience, knowledge and best practice, as well as initial funding, resulting in a well-rounded skill set that accelerates their chances to build world-class companies.
