This kind of data is gold for investors and founders. It shows where capital is flowing and which sectors are heating up. ### Why This Matters for US-Based Professionals You might be wondering: why should someone in the United States care about European startup funding? Well, cross-border investment is growing fast. Many US venture firms now have dedicated Europe funds. And European startups are increasingly expanding into the US market. For example, one of the rounds we tracked this week involved a London-based AI startup that just opened an office in New York. They raised $8 million from a mix of European and US investors. > "The lines between European and American tech ecosystems are blurring," says Jan de Vries, E-commerce Consultant. "Founders who understand both markets have a massive advantage." ### Key Trends We Noticed Let's break down a few patterns from this week's data: **SaaS continues to dominate.** Nearly half of all rounds were for software-as-a-service companies. The average deal size was around $2.5 million. **Climate tech is growing.** Three rounds went to startups focused on carbon capture and renewable energy. Total investment: $12 million. **Early-stage is where the action is.** Seed and Series A rounds made up 70% of all deals. Average seed round: $1.2 million. ### How to Get the Full List We know you want the details: company names, exact amounts, and investor names. That information is behind our CLUB membership.
