Seedcamp, Europe's oldest start-up accelerators, co-founded by Reshma Sohoni in 2007. After eight years of establishing the organisation, Seedcamp has helped companies to raise £180 million. The organisation has offered training to 1,200 start-ups across 13,500 teaching sessions.
Reshma Sohoni said, “We centred on London because it’s the strongest capital. I never wanted Seedcamp to be another run-of-the-mill, UK-only thing. We were going for a United States of Europe approach. I spent four years hitting the streets, from Prague to Bucharest to Dublin. I felt like I was preaching the Ten Commandments. Number one was you should start a company!”
She also believes that in order to survive in the market, you ought to advance and expand. She said, “You can't stay static. You evolve with the market or you die.”
