Approach
Our goal is to kickstart ambitious entrepreneurs that aim to build digital champions in Europe.
Based on our extensive experience as Seed VC and founders of multiple companies, we have designed a dedicated investment approach enabling us to start investing at different phases :
- At pre-seed stage, we lead rounds with an investment capacity between 100k€ and 250k€ with the a focus on validating the product-market fit
- At Seed stage, we co-lead (or follow in case of larger rounds) with a ticket up to 500k€ in order to help the startup to confirm its growth potential and boost KPIs
The objective is always to double down in the subsequent rounds when the company confirmed its potential and enters in its scaling phase. For a first investment, we can both use equity investment or convertible loan, while ultimately we target equity ownership in the performing companies.
The Fund mainly invests in Belgium and in the neighbouring countries but any opportunities within the European territory can be considered by the Fund.
As part of 50°North Ventures, Seeder Fund is able to leverage a large network of professionals, co-investors and subject-matter experts to the benefits of our entrepreneurs and support them in their ambitions both across Europe & North-America.
WHY WORKING WITH US
ESG
Seeder Fund is committed to investing responsibly and believes that the effective integration of certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the investment decision-making process is key in achieving a long-term sustainable performance. We believe that assessing the effect of our actions and those of our portfolio companies on all dimensions of society and environment, as well as trying to have a positive impact on our communities is the foundation of any long-term sustainable value creation.
We firmly believe that a focus on strict corporate governance and responsible business practices within our portfolio companies can lower risks and enhance financial returns while creating a net benefit for society.
In this framework, Seeder Fund has adopted an ESG Policy and makes the appropriate disclosures under Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector (the “SFDR”).
