15/09/08 D4H At Seedcamp

DUBLIN, IRELAND - I’m writing this post in advance and have it scheduled to post on Monday morning. If everything has gone to plan, I can tell you that D4H flew out last night to London, and David and I should be sitting in University College London’s new engineering building listening to Jyri Engestrom and Michael Birch speaking on a founder panel.

We’ve not been able to announce it until everything was confirmed, but considering the event has already started I can now tell you Decisions For Heroes was made a Seedcamp Finalist and listed as one of 23 top European start-up companies for 2008.

Once a year we will bring together Europe’s top young founders and a world class network of mentors in one place. We will provide access to seed funding, but more importantly we will expose these teams to the collective experience of people who can help inspire the next generation of Europe’s future serial entrepreneurs.

Brilliant.

(sorry it took so long to announce)

-Robin.

Good man Robin!

That’s great news. D4H is really innovative and a super niche product, and with the SaaS business model, should be a real winner. Congratulations!

I’m a little confused though. Didn’t you say before that you didn’t make the shortlist? Were you accepted in a second round or did you know the whole time and were keeping us in the dark?

Well done. And well done seedcamp for seeing the game changing nature of the overall business approach.
