Euronext Oslo Børs’ Post

IVC Data and Insights shared how the ongoing war ⚔ affected the Israeli high-tech fundraising figures in Q4 2023. What caught my eye in the additional details they released, is a downward trend starting in the seed 🌱 round investments starting from 2022. To explore this trend further, I compared seed round data from Israel to the US (PitchBook). Both markets exhibit a similar downturn, with peak deal value and count reached in Q1 2022 and declining ever since. 📉 Specifically, the US VC market for seed rounds witnessed a 47% decline in both deal value and count between Q1 2022 and Q1 2023. The Israeli market shows a slightly steeper decline, with a 54% drop in deal value and a 61% decrease in deal count. The last available data from PitchBook ends on Q1 2023. In my eyes, the downward trend seems to be correlated between both countries, with bigger decline in Israel, probably due to local political instability. January 2024, with the release of full-year 2023 reports, will offer a more comprehensive picture and allow for a clearer comparison of the war's impact with the US seed round figures in Q4 2023. #venturecapital #fundraising #data

Why isn’t European Tech a thing? It's not due to a lack of talent or innovation. The ecosystem hasn’t yet fully embraced its own potential. We have the brains, the creativity, and the commitment to ethical standards. What’s missing is a unified push to bring European Tech to the forefront. The few companies that do tech well are either bought out, or move to the US. Thanks to steward-ownership, we don't share that same fate. Therefore, we’re committed to changing that narrative. We believe that with the right support, resources, and vision, European Tech can not only compete but lead the way in innovation, societal benefits, and healthy profits. Our platform is designed to foster collaboration and drive progress 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧. Let’s make European Tech a thing. Let's do things in-house, and do them well.
