If you’re pitching US funds when European VCs exist who understand your market, here’s the hard truth:

You’re targeting investors who’ll never move fast enough on your timeline.

European VCs think differently.

They understand regulatory landscapes, cross-border expansion, and building without Silicon Valley’s capital abundance.

In 2025, European startups raised €66.2 billion across 8,626 deals, marking the second consecutive year of recovery.

AI captured 35.5% of all capital deployed, totaling €23.5 billion.

But here’s the reality:

European VC fundraising hit €12 billion in 2025, the lowest in a decade, with only 148 funds closing.

Capital is concentrated.

The ratio between capital deployed and raised reached 5.5x versus 3.2x in 2024, signaling potential capital shortages ahead.

Targeting the right funds matters more than ever.
