  "account": "Copenhagen-based Seed Capital has successfully closed its Fund V with a capital of €130 million. The firm, which has been investing in startups since 2002, plans to allocate the funds across 15-17 companies at the seed and Series A stages. Seed Capital's primary focus remains on fintech and AI-driven B2B solutions, while also expanding into cybersecurity and resilience. The firm has an impressive track record, having backed successful Nordic companies such as Flatpay, Trustpilot, VEO, Lunar, and Templafy. Seed Capital's first investments under Fund V include Repodo and Oplane.\n\nWith this fifth fund, Seed Capital aims to broaden its investments beyond Denmark to include Sweden and the broader Nordic region. Christian Brøndum, Managing Partner, emphasizes that this expansion is a natural progression of their established fund model, coupled with their deep understanding of the region. Brøndum, a former CEO of Planday, will lead the team, joined by Geeta Schmidt, former CEO and Co-Founder of Humio, as General Partner. Together with Lars Andersen, who brings over two decades of VC experience, the team combines the perspectives of former operators and seasoned investors to provide founders with firsthand insights into the challenges they face, while guiding their growth strategically.\n\nSeed Capital identifies a growing opportunity at the intersection of security and AI. As companies accelerate their adoption of AI, the demand for secure software rises, and Seed Capital is keen to invest in this space across Sweden and the Nordics. Geeta Schmidt, General Partner, highlights Oplane as a prime example of the type of team they seek – a founding team with deep expertise, a product that is essential, and an ambitious vision for the future. As part of their expansion, Seed Capital is also considering the opening of a Swedish office to further enhance their close-to-founders approach.",
