43% drop: many B2C opportunities (e.g. food, home
services) have simply been adequately funded. Now
focus is on execution.
Still, many B2C markets very VC-active (e.g. banking,

 Recent years saw more European than
ever startups, but a smaller proportion
reaching the next funding round stage
 This is likely due to a combination of
increased competition and higher risk
appetite by VCs
 Not reaching series-A does not necessarily
equal failure. Reasons may be that
company became profitable
 Especially beyond series-A/B companies
often do not need additional funding

•
Highest density of scale-ups anywhere in Europe. World-class epicenter for deep tech (AI, VR, robotics, …)
