Seedcamp just added 8 startups to the “family” of startups they invest in and support so Datasmoothie and the rest of February’s intake are no longer the new kids on the block. The office is buzzing because the new batch is in London for “onboarding week”. Onboarding week consists of back to back masterclasses, taught be people straight from the trenches, on everything from raising money, hiring people and building a product to marketing, selling and branding.
When I scanned the list of new startups in the Seedcamp newsletter one of the companies stood out to me: Findify, “the intelligent search solution for e-commerce using data science and machine learning to increase revenue”.
Data science. Machine learning. Yummy. You plug their solution into your online store and your search becomes intelligent, increasing revenue. Also, they’re from Sweden. I’ve yet to meet a Swede I didn’t like.
