\"XmasSeedcamp Paris has announced three new investments in startups who participated in Seedcamp Paris<\/a> earlier this month. The startups invested in are Berlin-based knowable.org<\/a><\/strong>, a social network for ‘makers,’ Paris-based tldr.io<\/a><\/strong>, a service ‘summarizing the Web,’ and Cambridge-based Unifyo<\/a><\/strong>, which brings contact information “when you need it.”
\nIn their announcement, Seedcamp stated that they chose the teams for vision, ability to execute, team, and product.The selected teams, which we profiled earlier this month<\/a>, \u00a0will be invited to work at Seedcamp’s London office, Google Campus, and will be part of Seedcamp;s notorious US trip to Boston, NYC, and the Silicon Valley next spring.
\nFrom our announcement earlier this month, here’s our reviews of the three selected startups:<\/p>\n

knowable.org<\/a><\/strong>(Berlin) –\u00a0knowable.org offers convenient access to practical solutions for everyday\u00a0challenges. It\u2019s a collaborative platform that connects DIY-enthusiasts all\u00a0over the world, allowing them to share, discuss, and build upon their\u00a0ideas. Its core are simple step-by-step guides that can be altered, refined,\u00a0and combined by its users, enabling everyone to find a specific solution\u00a0for their individual need.
\ntl;dr<\/strong><\/a>(Paris) –\u00a0tldr.io crowdsources summaries of webpages.\u00a0It is harder than ever to find and consume relevant content on the Internet.\u00a0We want to make this easier and faster by providing human-written\u00a0summaries for any webpage, accessible by anyone at the click of a button.\u00a0Ultimately, we want to become the summary layer of the Web, so that\u00a0anyone needing summaries can call our API or use our tools.
\nUnifyo<\/strong><\/a>(Cambridge, UK) –\u00a0Unifyo is a disruptive data integration tool which helps customer facing\u00a0employees at SMEs to get 360 customer profiles inside any website while\u00a0they browse.\u00a0SMEs are underserved and handicapped when it comes to data integration,\u00a0leaving a time sink for employees to look up relevant customer info from\u00a0a multitude of systems and letting employees act out of sync.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seedcamp Paris<\/a>, which took place earlier this month, brought 20 European startups together in Paris the day before LeWeb<\/a>, providing an opportunity for startups to pitch, receive feedback from Seedcamp’s world-class mentor list, and talk one-on-one with mentors and former Seedcamp companies. Franco-Californian VC Jeff Clavier, resident New Englander and recent French citizen David Bizer of HackFWD, and the\u00a0effervescent Colette Ballou were just some of the master mentors that startups got to meet with during the event.
\nAmong the Seedcamp Alumni present at the event were\u00a0WriteThat.Name<\/a> founder and serial French entrepreneur Philippe Laval<\/a>, Paris-based\u00a0Stupeflix<\/a> founder Nicolas Steegman<\/a>, and Berlin founder of Lookk Andreas Klinger.
\nSeedcamp has seen 70 European startups pass through its program, among them quite a few French startups (in additiion to those listed above), including teleportd<\/a>, who mentored at the event after having raised $1 Million<\/a> for its Instagram analytics\u00a0solution\u00a0Nitrogram<\/a>. Sush.io<\/a>, who’s getting ready to relaunch after\u00a0pivoting\u00a0post Seedcamp, also passed through the program.<\/p>\n

A worthy finish to 2012<\/h1>\n

2012 has been quite a busy year for Seedcamp. In addition to its annual trip to the ‘States, the program hosted 10 events<\/a> all around the world, and hosted Seedcamp Week in September. The program continues to live up to its self-proclaimed title of Europe’s largest accelerator program, and it continues to deliver exactly what it promises, and promise exactly what it delivers. While the program has only seen two\u00a0notable\u00a0exits since its inception – Mobclix (acquired<\/a>) & RentMineOnline<\/a> – it continues to support the European ecosystem and, for the time being, the investments keep on coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
