I have been following seedcamp a lot recently, especially after listening to Reshma sohoni speak at a UCL event a while ago and when a friend of mine Julian polzella entered into seedcamp, i even paid more attention, so it is definitely time i wrote about and let me know what it is about, that is people who do not know about it is obviously, rather than me secretly monitoring it.

I also listened to Andrew Warner funny and interesting interview with Reshma, seedcamp’s CEO.

I spoke to Reshma a while ago and i remember asking what it takes for seedcamp to approve start-ups for investments.

Here are a few

Two co-founders must complement each other
One co-founder should be a coder

Actually, Listen to Andrew warner interview on mixergy, she speaks about it all in more details.

I remember reaching out to them a while ago about some promotional work and was so amazed in how willing they were to help.
