Make me a list of VCs who have done seed funding in the past 6 months (can also be firms or incubators, but I want a contact name) in Europe, and who are based in San Francisco. I want to also know what company(ies) they invested in / how much / what space (industry) / where those companies are located.
Hi there! Thank you for your request to provide a list of venture capital firms or incubators, based in San Francisco, that have done seed finding in the past 6 months in Europe, specifying the companies in which they invested, the amount of the investments, and the industry to which the companies belong, as well as where they are located. The short version is, after an extensive search through all of the venture capital firms headquartered in San Francisco, I found only 1 firm (FundersClub) that has done seed funding Europe in the past 6 months. However, I did find 5 additional companies that have done seed funding in Europe in the past. Below is a deep dive into my research and methodology.
METHODOLOGY
To fulfill your request, I used Crunchbase and Google as my primary research tools. Through Crunchbase, I was able to generate a list of 50 venture capital firms in San Francisco. Through Google, I found a number of articles and websites that provided me with more firms, and even ones that specifically invest in Europe. For each firm found, I reviewed the firm using Crunchbase and also reviewing information on the firm's website.
The end result of this process revealed to me that there are a number of venture capital firms in San Francisco that have invested in Europe, are investing in Europe, or are interested in investing in Europe. However, I have found only 1 firm that meets most if not all of your requirements.
FundersClub is an online venture capital fund platform that serves as a matching point for start-ups and investors. However, FundersClub also invests in seed and early stage ventures. It also invests in companies in Europe.
In the last 6 months, FundersClub invested in the following:

CONCLUSION
To wrap up, after an extensive search, I found only 1 San Francisco-based firm that has done seed funding in Europe. That firm is FundersClub, and it funded the company Spendex. However, there are a number of San Francisco-based firms that have either invested or are interested in investing, at the seed level, in companies in Europe. Thanks for using Wonder!
