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.
