Next Tuesday, we’ll be hosting our second Seedcamp in New York. Last year, we were very impressed by the quality of the companies that came to the event. 20 teams wowed us with their products, pitched, got access to the best NY-based network of entrepreneurs, investors and mentors; and out of them, 4 became part of the Seedcamp Family!
We cannot wait to meet this year’s selection and have been delighted by not only a strong demand from European-based companies but also from North America.
