Contrary to common believe London does not vacate during July/August: we received a record number of applications from teams all over the world to participate in Mini Seedcamp London. Quality is firmly on the rise and it was once again a mammoth and challenging task to select only 20 of the teams to join us.

Next week these 20 teams will meet over 90 of our absolute best mentors – all across the board from experienced entrepreneurs, Europe’s best VCs and most active angels, to tons of experts from all aspects of the startup business.

For our panel on: ‘From Biz Dev to M&A – working with large companies’ we will be joined by Anil Hansjee, (Ex Google M&A EMEA), Martin Ott (Moneybookers), Tom Allason (Shutle) and Glyn Britton(Albion). This will certainly make for an interesting debate, as we will dive into various war stories of how large corporates can and should (and have and shouldn’t) work together throughout the life cycle of a startup.
