European Startups Receive $52 Billion in Venture Capital Investments in 2024

According to a recent report, venture capital investment in European startups reached a record-breaking $52 billion in 2024. This significant milestone indicates the market’s long-term growth trajectory and gradual stabilization following the peaks and slumps experienced in the previous years, primarily driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite facing political and regulatory challenges throughout the year, Europe’s startup ecosystem continues to thrive, with an increasing number of talented entrepreneurs and innovative companies. The report, released by global law firm Orrick and titled “Deal Flow,” provides insights into the European startup landscape in 2024.

The analysis of over 375 VC and growth equity investments in Europe highlights several key trends. The market has shown signs of stability, with a more balanced approach to investment terms compared to the fluctuations seen during the pandemic and its aftermath. Additionally, there has been a growing adoption of the British Venture Capital Association’s standardized form documents in European deals, streamlining the negotiation process and facilitating deal-making.

European companies are focusing on scaling and growth, as evidenced by the expansion of option pools in equity financings. Over 70% of deals included a top-up option, indicating a commitment to building sustainable businesses rather than pursuing early exits.

While the average size of deals with investor clients has increased by 66%, there is still a shortage of growth-stage funding in Europe. Early-stage startups are well-supported, but companies seeking later-stage investments face challenges in securing adequate funding.

Equity-based deals have been preferred over debt-based transactions, with extension rounds and unique structures like ASAs and SAFE agreements gaining popularity. Secondary financings have also become more common, with founders accessing liquidity earlier in the funding cycle.

In terms of industry focus, SaaS, deep tech, AI/ML, and fintech companies have attracted significant investments in 2024. Startups with technology-driven business models continue to be favored by investors, reflecting the growing importance of innovation in the European startup ecosystem.
