Seedcamp Kicks Off A Big Week For European Startups

Seedcamp Week, the week when the startup programme brings its pan-European travels to a head and lands in London, starts next week and they've released the startups they will be running through their intense mentoring wringer.

Over 600 teams applied over the last year of nine Mini Seedcamps, finally coming up with teams from 16 different countries and 19 different cities. Although Seedcamp pinged to South Africa, Israel and even Asia this year, their hard-core remains Europe, and the above data points show just how intense you have to be to suck out startups from such a wide area. If you're just in Silicon Valley, thank your lucky stars you only have to drive up and down the 101.

Below is Seedcamp's summary of the contenders.
