Seedcamp Closes $320M Across Two Funds, Hits $1B AUM and Pushes Into the US

European seed pioneer Seedcamp raised $320 million across two new vehicles -- a $220 million seventh flagship fund and a $100 million 'Select' fund for follow-on bets -- crossing $1 billion in assets under management. After 18 years focused on Europe, the firm is using the capital to expand into the United States.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR VCs & FOUNDERS
1

A storied European seed fund crossing $1B AUM signals the maturing of the continent's early-stage ecosystem

2

The new 'Select' fund lets Seedcamp double down on its breakout winners rather than ceding them to US growth investors

3

Expanding into the US is a transatlantic bet that its best founders increasingly scale stateside

4

Early backer of Revolut, Wise, UiPath and Synthesia, Seedcamp's franchise gives it real signal value

The Select fund is the smart part of this raise, and it's a lesson every seed manager should internalize: the painful European pattern has always been finding Revolut at the seed and then watching US growth funds capture the markup. A dedicated follow-on vehicle fixes the leak. The US expansion is the obvious move but the harder one -- transatlantic firms historically struggle to build real American deal flow and brand. Watch whether Seedcamp's signal value travels; reputation is local in venture, and $1B AUM doesn't automatically buy a seat at the best US seed tables.

Seedcamp, one of Europe's earliest and best-known seed investors, has closed $320 million across two funds, the firm announced. The bulk -- $220 million -- goes to Seedcamp VII, its core early-stage vehicle, while a new $100 million 'Select' fund is reserved for growth-stage follow-on investments in the firm's standout portfolio companies. The raise lifts Seedcamp's assets under management to $1 billion.

Founded in 2007 with an initial fund of just $3 million, Seedcamp has since backed roughly 550 companies, including early checks into Revolut, Wise, UiPath, Synthesia, Pleo and Hopin. That track record gives the firm an unusually strong franchise and signal value among European founders.

“Seedcamp, one of Europe's earliest and best-known seed investors, has closed $320 million across two funds, the firm announced.”

The headline strategic shift is geographic. After 18 years concentrated on Europe, Seedcamp is building a transatlantic bridge and expanding into the United States, reflecting a reality that its most ambitious founders increasingly scale in the US. The Select fund, meanwhile, addresses a long-standing European problem -- watching breakout winners migrate to American growth investors -- by giving Seedcamp the firepower to keep backing them as they grow.

Groq Confirms $650M Raise and Rebuilds Leadership After Nvidia's $20B 'Not-Acqui-Hire'

AI chipmaker Groq confirmed a $650 million funding round and a near-total leadership rebuild, six months after Nvidia signed a roughly $20 billion non-exclusive licensing deal that also hired away Groq's founder-CEO Jonathan Ross, president Sunny Madra and other senior staff. The round -- led by Dallas firm Disruptive and hedge fund Infinitum -- bankrolls Groq's pivot from selling chips to running an AI inference 'neocloud.'
