The Q1 2021 European Venture Report showcases the key trends that have defined Europe’s VC market over the first three months of the year, including a boom in nontraditional investor participation, robust dealmaking in fintech, and a solid start to VC fundraising despite continued travel restrictions.
Other highlights include:
- Late-stage deals claimed nearly 75% of all VC capital invested in Europe as enormous rounds became a regular occurrence.
- The UK retained its position as Europe’s premier destination for VC dealmaking despite near-term uncertainty caused by Brexit and COVID-19.
- Exits in Q1 reached an impressive €21 billion. Thanks to the emergence of SPACs and frothy global market valuations, Q1’s exits surpassed the total exit value of 2020 in its entirety.
