Q2 2024 European Venture Webinar

2024 has sparked optimism in the venture capital landscape, with an improvement in deal values and valuations. Although European VC hasn’t gained significant momentum, resilient deal-making across various industries, along with a fundraising environment that is keeping pace with 2023, signals a potential turning point. Nevertheless, liquidity pressures persist and continue to affect sentiment, as exit activity remains subdued with little sign of recovery.

In this webinar, industry experts and PitchBook analysts shared findings from our Q2 2024 European Venture Report, sponsored by J.P. Morgan, shedding light on trends and developments that should be on every investor’s radar.
