The State of European Tech
Essential reading: Atomico's flagship State of European Tech report is out. Now in its sixth year, the report covers funding, investors, impact, diversity and inclusion, value creation and regulation in European tech.
A thriving ecosystem is on track for record investment in 2020, and unicorns have now been created in 40 European towns and cities, in 20 countries. The next could truly come from anywhere. 🇪🇺
We recently implemented simplified funding round standards inside the Dealroom platform. A framework originally developed for the Journey to Series A report with LocalGlobe & Atomico (still one of our most read), we established representative standard funding round bands, for meaningful like-for-like comparison across sectors and geographies.
Of course the self-reported round labels are still recorded on company profiles, but the new standardization makes it easier than ever to conduct analysis with built-in robust methodology.
🍔 Maastricht's Mosa Meat this week extended their Series B to $75M. Discover the other lab-grown meat players in the vast Alternative Protein startup landscape.
