Note: I have worded the below statement cautiously, and withheld my details. This is to guard against potential personal repercussions - which I am careful to avoid, based on my previous experience with the organisation. Nevertheless, I have provided the information below as accurately as I am reasonably able, based on my records and recollections of the events described.
Firstly, I was a volunteer at a Seedcamp event, providing comment on early stage businesses or business ideas. This is according to both my recollection and contemporary records. This fact was later listed on my own website, alongside many other similar judging and mentoring roles I'd taken. I recall later being contacted by Seedcamp, seeking to get me to erase this information from my website. I naturally refused to delete the factual record (I do remember offering to add a date for further clarification). I recall such a request being entirely unprecedented.
Secondly, media reports show Seedcamp invested in a firm I had held a share options position in. This holding was among various other property and share assets I simultaneously or previously held, dating back several years prior. At a later Seedcamp event at Google Campus I was publicly confronted by a lady (whom I understood to be an employee) who made clear that I was unwelcome, claiming variously that "you're not an investor" and "you've never invested in any of our companies" - with phrasing transcribed as best I recall it. I do not regard her statements as factually correct, and I believe that such a claim risks damaging my reputation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have personally had no ultimately positive experiences with this firm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
