It's on the site, but currently hidden because it's not a "seed accelerator" by the definition I use: http://www.seed-db.com/about/definition (Similarly, Seedcamp isn't shown on NESTA's Startup Factories site.)
Basically, as I understand it Seedcamp has morphed into a seed fund instead of strictly a seed accelerator. (Where you have classes of startups that enter/leave at the same time.)
Again, I'm going to keep track of other program models, too. I personally believe Seedcamp is VERY valuable and a great program for startups. I just wanted to get what's there launched first.

Actually - we do have cohorts, just a little nuanced from the 3-month programs. Due to the distributed nature of the onboarding and investments (locally in the markets we cover), we decided to kickstart the individual startups monthly. We have a rolling program throughout the year, but the annual Seedcamp Week with Demo Day is completely separated by annual class.
In terms of focus, we haven't changed: product focused teams from all around Europe (and beyond now), at seed stage, at standard investment. Happy to chat and give you more input, of course.

I thought that may be the case now that they operate the mini-Seedcamps and Seedcamp week with investment happening year-round.
Look forward to seeing more from Seed-DB.
