It is with great pleasure and excitement that we announce the Top 20 Semi-Finalists of our first investment competition, officially welcoming them to our community.

We launched our first investment competition at the end of 2020 to identify promising startups for investment from the EdenBase fund, and to join and benefit from our transformative community in London.

It is with great pleasure and excitement that we now welcome the Top 20 Semi-Finalists to join our online and physical community and invite them to our Virtual Base Camp Week (22-26 March) for interviews, panels, and content sessions.

Selected from many amazing applications, these 20 companies are now one step closer to joining our ecosystem and receiving investment from the EdenBase fund. The Top 10 Finalists will be announced at the end of the bootcamp and offered a package of benefits, prizes, and a variety of perks. Out of these finalists, the EdenBase team will then select and announce the 2 winning companies that will receive investment (up to £145K) from the EdenBase fund plus up to £105K in desks in our hub and other benefits.

We were delighted to see that our first competition has reached a global audience, receiving submissions from teams in 28 countries, applying to be considered to join and benefit from our ecosystem. We would like to thank all of the applicants for their interest, time, and energy they put into their submissions.

These applications have been reviewed by the EdenBase team and panel of judges; including Anish Mohammed, Barrie Heptonstall, Bill Tai, Carolina Casas Forga, Charles Seely, Dinis Guarda, Gijs Dutry van Haeften, Gokce Gizer, Hannah Leach, James Bowater, Lisa Andrews, Marta Piekarska-Geater, Michael DaCosta-Babb, Stephen Precious, and Zayed AlNehayan.

The EdenBase judging panel of prominent investors, serial entrepreneurs, tech experts, and ecosystem builders, carefully evaluated the applications, assessing the team, product, and market opportunity for each submission to identify the qualifying teams to move forward in the competition.
