Executive summary: Seedcamp raised a new $320 million venture fund, with anchor participation from Revolut, Wise and UiPath. The fund expands Seedcamp’s capacity to back early‑stage startups, reinforcing Europe’s venture capital ecosystem and providing corporate LPs with strategic exposure to innovation.
Who is involved: Seedcamp (GP), Revolut, Wise, UiPath (anchor LPs), and other limited partners.
