💰 The sixth annual Dealroom Investor Ranking  

Dealroom’s ranking is intended as a practical tool to help founders, LPs, fellow investors and policymakers navigate the increasingly crowded venture capital market. This data-driven ranking of the leading 2023 venture capital investors in the world brings transparency to the traditionally opaque private market investment data.

 

There is pressure on all companies in the private markets to improve transparency, as fears mount that higher borrowing costs could adversely affect the sector. More transparency is also required around ESG which will also change VC behaviour.

ICYM: Update on the Nordics startup jobs and impact ecosystem

80% of jobs at Nordic startups are at startups (<50 employees) and scaleups (50-500).

This has so far shielded the Nordic ecosystem from widespread loss of opportunities that have more greatly affected large late-stage tech “grown-ups” and unicorn employers.  

On another note, 38% of funding in the Nordics is going to impact startups, compared to 22% for Europe and less than 10% for US and Asia.  Our latest report also reveals that impact companies account for 14% of all startup jobs in the Nordics, and attract more applicants for open vacancies.
