“Even in a difficult dealmaking environment, European VC valuations continue to climb as investors pick quality over quantity.”

“… the median pre-money valuation reached €8.6 million (about $10 million) at the end of June, a decade high and 15.6% above 2024’s figure. Price tags rose across almost all series, except angel investments, with the most notable gains in more mature segments.”

“The median Series E+ valuation in Europe had the biggest jump from 2024, reaching €1.2 billion in H1. Companies in this segment are more likely to be profitable with stable revenue, making them attractive to investors who remain cautious about dealmaking.”

“The Series C to D median in Europe also rose significantly, driven by outsized deals in areas such as defense tech and AI.”

“The median deal size in Europe reached €2.5 million in H1, a 23.4% increase from 2024.”
