Seed Haus celebrates anniversary with new investments

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.

It has now backed two new start-ups – gaming platform TopDog and PlayerBase, an e-sports platform. These investments complement Seed Haus’ portfolio which includes start-ups working across cyber-security, robotics, the internet of things, communication, and logistics.

Cumulatively, the portfolio of ten start-ups is said to have made ā€œimpressive progressā€ over the last 12 months. Several have raised funding from both angel and institutional investors allowing them to grow and hire in key roles.
