Jan de Vries · 2026-05-29

This week, we tracked dozens of European startup funding rounds from May 25 through May 29. While the full details are reserved for our CLUB members, here's a quick look at what happened and why it matters for anyone following EU Inc news. ### The Big Picture European startups are still pulling in serious cash, even as the market shifts. We saw rounds ranging from seed-stage deals to Series B and beyond. The total raised this week hit well over $200 million, with big wins in health tech, green energy, and software. One thing stands out: investors aren't slowing down. They're betting on founders who solve real problems, especially in areas like climate tech and digital health. That's a good sign for the whole ecosystem.  ### Key Sectors That Shined - **Health Tech**: Several startups scored big rounds, including a $15 million Series A for a remote monitoring platform. - **Green Energy**: A solar software company raised $8 million to expand its U.S. operations. - **Fintech**: A Berlin-based payments startup closed a $12 million seed round. - **SaaS**: A CRM tool for small businesses nabbed $6 million.  ### What This Means for EU Inc The EU Inc proposal aims to make it easier for startups to incorporate and scale across Europe. Right now, founders often face a maze of different rules in each country. The proposal would create a single, simple legal structure for digital companies. If it passes, we could see even more funding rounds like these. Think of it like this: today, a startup in France has to deal with French laws, German laws, and Italian laws if it wants to sell across borders. That's a headache. The EU Inc would let them operate under one set of rules, saving time and money. ### A Quick Look at the Numbers Here's a breakdown of the funding we tracked this week: - **Total raised**: $215 million - **Average round size**: $4.3 million - **Largest round**: A $45 million Series B for a Dutch biotech firm - **Most active country**: Germany (12 rounds) - **Most active sector**: Health tech (8 rounds) ### Why You Should Care If you're a founder, investor, or just someone who follows European startups, these numbers tell a story. Money is flowing to companies that are building the future. And with the EU Inc proposal on the table, the next few years could be even bigger. We'll keep tracking these rounds every week. For the full list of companies and amounts, you'll need to be a CLUB member.
