Seedcamp has reached the half-way point in what is the second annual event for the digital media elevator pitch-fest. Last year, startups including blog plugin Zemanta and restaurant aide TableFinder won up to €50,000 each; this time, 23 more finalists are competing for seed and advice from a consortium of investors.

A story this sexy simply must be told visually - so here’s Matt Cowan’s package for Reuters TV, plus Seedcamp’s own highlights, including interviews with Bebo founder Michael Birch, Last.fm co-founder Martin Stiksel, Seedcamp starter Saul Klein and a host of hopefuls (the current money‘s on Romania’s uberVU).
