Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Seeder Fund?
The partnership is led by Managing Partner Pierre-François Hellebuyck and Partner David Van Tieghem, alongside Partners Isabelle Tennstedt and Eric Vandoorne. The firm's website presents investment decisions as a team effort aligned with the firm's commitment to quick initial reviews and follow-on backing.
How does Seeder Fund source proprietary deal flow?
Seeder Fund draws on its integration with the 50°North Ventures holding group and its dense ties to the Belgian angel community, particularly through frequent co-investor Be Angels. Partner Isabelle Tennstedt's board role at FinTech Belgium and the firm's involvement in the European Digital Finance Association add policy and trade-body channels that surface early-stage digital ventures.
Is Seeder Fund structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
Seeder Fund is a venture capital fund, not a family office. It is part of the 50°North Ventures holding group, formerly EEBIC Ventures, and operates as an early-stage institutional vehicle deploying capital into digital startups.
Does Seeder Fund participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Seeder Fund's stated model is direct equity in seed and start-up rounds, with a commitment to double down in subsequent fundraisings. Its portfolio is entirely composed of direct company positions, and there is no disclosed fund-of-funds activity.
What investment stages does Seeder Fund typically target?
The firm targets the earliest stages — seed and start-up — and explicitly states it makes quick decisions on first financing rounds. It reserves capacity for follow-on capital in later rounds for companies already in its portfolio.
Which sectors does Seeder Fund explicitly avoid?
The firm's portfolio implies exclusions outside digital and technology-enabled businesses; it has not disclosed positions in hard tech, deep science, or traditional industrial manufacturing. Its focus areas are enterprise software, fintech, digital assets, mobility, and insurtech, suggesting avoidance of non-digital sectors.
How is Seeder Fund related to 50°North Ventures?
Seeder Fund is part of the 50°North Ventures group, the holding company formerly known as EEBIC Ventures. The fund is housed at the EEBIC Campus in Anderlecht, and the holding structure provides organizational and reputational ballast to the venture arm without functioning as a limited partner in the traditional sense.
