\"\"Being an entrepreneur and starting a business in Europe is not easy. Luckily there are great initiatives like my friend Saul Klein<\/a>‘s Seedcamp<\/a>, an event that gives young entrepreneurs with a business idea the chance to spend a week in London with Europe\u2019s top entrepreneurs, investors and advisors. Additionally, out of 20 startups selected to participate, 5 winners will be chosen to get seed funding (\u20ac50K each for a 10% stake) and world-class connections and mentorship to start their business.<\/p>\n

If a team that is selected agrees to take the investment, they will move to London for a 3-month period, during which they’ll have the opportunity to take advantage of mentorship on issues like scaling the business, raising funding and M&A and access to the same experts that participated in the Seedcamp event.<\/p>\n

Applications for this year’s second edition will close on Sunday August 10th, so if you want a chance to be part of the 20 teams that will take part in the event send your application now<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I will be part of the advisor group<\/a>, along with Niklas Zennstrom (Joost<\/a>, Atomico<\/a>), Michael Birch (Bebo<\/a>), Brent Hoberman (Lastminute.com<\/a>, Mydeco<\/a>) and other experienced entreprenurs.<\/p>\n

Below is a nice video summary from last year’s event.
