In 2015, a fintech startup in London wanted to let people spend abroad without paying hidden fees.

Most institutional investors passed.

Seedcamp wrote a £300K check.

That company became Revolut. It is now valued in the tens of billions and is one of the most valuable private fintech companies on Earth.

The fund that housed that check, alongside UiPath and Pleo, is officially tracking to deliver a 20x net return to investors, having already paid back 13x in distributions.

That is the track record behind this week’s announcement.

Seedcamp has raised $320 million to invest in the next generation of global companies.

And if you are a founder, an LP, or just someone who wants to understand what 20 years of pattern recognition in European tech actually looks like in spreadsheet form, this is the article.

Because Seedcamp just did something almost no VC firm ever does: they published the deck.

The numbers. The IRR. The DPI. The full fund-by-fund breakdown. All of it.

Spoiler: Fund III has a 50.3% net IRR. On 125 companies. Across a €20M fund that backed Revolut at pre-seed.

Let that land for a second.
