Q1 2022 European Venture Report

European VC sees strong start to 2022 despite global uncertainty

After a bumper 2021, Europe’s VC ecosystem kept up momentum in Q1 with €27.5 billion invested. Investment levels may have remained elevated despite a rise in interest rates, but the surge in the cost of living and ongoing uncertainty surrounding the war in Ukraine could make the rest of 2022 a challenging year.

Our Q1 European Venture Report takes a deep dive into the key trends that shaped this first quarter, breaking down activity across dealmaking, exits and fundraising, as well as regions.

Highlights include:

  • Late-stage VC continues to dominate deal value figures, accounting for 71.6% of total capital invested.

 

  • Exit value plummeted from 2021’s heights amid a widespread tech public equity sell-off.

 

  • VC fundraising got off to a solid start in terms of capital raised, but fund count dropped significantly.
