Pre-seed tech accelerator Seed Haus is backing two new start-ups as the Edinburgh incubator celebrates the one-year anniversary of its first tranche of investments.
Seed Haus, co-founded by its chief executive Calum Forsyth and chairman Robin Knox, was set up in a bid to plug a gap in the start-up support system. It has been backed by a line-up of high-profile investment partners including Sir Tom Hunter, BrewDog co-founder James Watt and technology entrepreneur Chris van der Kuyl.
