The most interesting projects will receive up to 200,000 euros in seed capital through the Buisness Angels’ Network AMBER, and the Starter Capital Fund Pomeranus Seed.

If you are at an early stage working on a web/mobile/software startup I definitely think you should apply to Seedcamp in Copenhagen, May 27th 2010. There will be lots of talented mentors, investors and entrepreneurs there. That means lots and lots of very useful connections, input and support!

So what is Seedcamp?

Mini Seedcamp Copenhagen is a one day event on 27th May aiming to connect the 20 best web-tech, mobile and software talent with some of the leading entrepreneurs, developers, and experts from the European tech ecosystem.

Last year saw us in Helsingborg, which was a great success and brought us face to face with quality teams across the region and beyond. We’re urging teams from Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Finland, Iceland and Norway that are confident and ready to apply to Mini Seedcamp Copenhagen. Of course, our open door policy means that any team from anywhere can also apply.

Startup Weekend

I have been discussing the possibility of hosting a Startup Weekend in Kalmar with a few people. It seems to interest them. It’s very tempting to follow through and so I will continue to evaluate the possibilities, talk to people and see what happens. Let me know if you want to participate and/or help out with the event.
