Thanks Dave! I'm actually running only one of the two companies, and performing some work (in exchange of some shares) for the second one :) Yes, it would be quite hard to run both of them!

Hi Seedcamp team,

I'm currently involved in two companies right now, and both of them would be eager to receive some funding, but I'm still undecided with whom enterprise to apply to Seedcamp with: 1) A brand-new startup building a marketplace for legal services and 2) A strategic design agency already established since a couple of years, which is helping other brands to develop their identity and their strategy for growth, especially from a visual point of view.

Company 1 is obviously the most easy to communicate, and possibly it has the most appealing profile in term of rapid profitability. However, I think company 2 has the greatest potential on the long run, as it is trying to develop a working method potentially suitable for hundreds of other businesses.

To wrap up: What kinds of companies have been most appealing to you in the latest years: those startups whose core business is very narrow (at least at the beginning: a specific app, a single product), or those firms with a multifaceted identity, perhaps less easy to define but with a more ambitious long-term vision?

Perhaps for company 1 a Seed funding is the best solution, while for company 2 it would be better to let the business grow first and then aim to a more consistent funding source (VCs?). What do you think about it?

Thank you very much!

My second question is here: what particular traits all the "killer applications" you receive tend to have in common? brevity, clarity, a certain mood, originality, an attention to financial details? Thanks again!
