So, just came across this on Sifted: Apparently, August was the worst month for European startup funding since April 2017, according to deals tracked by Sifted. Sifted data showing European startup funding hitting a 6-year low in August (€1.8bn across 247 deals) has got me wondering: Is this something more than just the cyclical dip we see in August? [1] US funding, while slowing, is still multiples higher (at least based on Pitchbook info). Is there a uniquely European anxiety at play here, beyond macro headwinds? [2] Seed-stage investments are something that I consider a traditional European VC strength (due to volume + quantum). It's NOT just megarounds drying up. Both deal count and funding are down significantly since May across ALL stages. [3] Is the fear of a frozen IPO market driving deeper anxieties about future exits for European VCs? Yes, August is always quiet. But this year feels different. #europeanstartups #venturecapital #funding #innovation #economicdownturn #opportunity #resilience #adaptation #opendialogue These are just a few observations - what are YOU seeing in the market that confirms or contradicts this?
