Seedcamp by the numbers: 230+ startups backed, $500M in follow-up funding, Fund 1 returned 1.5x

Seedcamp is having a stellar year so far, prompting it to publicly share excellent performance data for its first fund, which it raised all the way back in 2007.

When Seedcamp was launched in 2007 by a group of 30 European investors, the term 'accelerator' was not yet in vogue, even though it was modelled almost completely after Y Combinator (the biggest startup accelerator of all).

Ironically, you won't find the word 'accelerator' on Seedcamp's website today, as the investment company would rather be known as a 'first round fund'.

Almost a decade ago, however, Seedcamp was pioneering a new way to provide European tech startups with quality mentorship, early-stage investment and a programme designed to boost growth.
