The good guys at Scred are offering 2 free tickets to Alternative Party organised in Helsinki this weekend. You have a good chance of getting these two VIP-level tickets by telling a story of a digital adventure you have had or alternatively - why you’d deserve these tickets. Please comment at the Scred blog, if you wish to participate in the competition.

There has been much talk around Slush lately. Yet, it has not yet been very clear at all what is happening and I’m partly to blame. Now I try to shed some light onto the issue and at the same time invite you all to Slush.

Seedcamp winners have been announced just a few hours ago in London. This year 7 companies were picked for a 50k€ investment and a three month mentoring period. The winners this year are:

Even though Scred is surely familiar for most of our readers I had a chat with Kristoffer Lawson of Scred since I promised earlier on that I’d interview all the Nordic & Baltic startups that’ll apply to Seedcamp.

I ask Kristoffer for a quick pitch and then talk more generally about the experience in Seedcamp just before the final pitches to the room full of investors on Thursday morning. Good luck guys!

I flew over to London to follow Scred and Saplo at Seedcamp. You can find previous coverage on the two startups here.

Here’s Kristoffer Lawson, Head of Product at Scred, pitching for the packed room full of investors and startups on the first day.

Saplo from Sweden and Scred from Finland have been selected to the Seedcamp finals among 22 other firms! Altogether the finalists companies come from 9 different countries.
