Jan de Vries · 2026-08-14

If you're plugged into the European startup scene, you already know the drill: every week, dozens of companies close funding rounds, and it's nearly impossible to keep up. We track them all so you don't have to. This week (Aug. 10 – Aug. 14) was no exception, with a steady stream of deals ranging from early-stage seed rounds to hefty Series B and C raises. But here's the thing—our full breakdown is reserved for CLUB members. If you're already a member and can't see the content, just log in here. If you're not a member yet, you're missing out on the complete list of rounds, the investors behind them, and the strategic insights that can shape your own investment or growth decisions. ### Why This Weekly Roundup Matters Let's be honest: the European funding landscape is vast and fragmented. From London to Berlin to Stockholm, startups are raising capital at a pace that's hard to track manually. That's why our weekly roundup exists. It's not just a list of names and numbers—it's a snapshot of where the market is heading, which sectors are heating up, and which investors are doubling down on their bets. For founders, this intel is gold. You can see who's writing checks, what valuations look like, and which verticals are attracting the most attention. For investors, it's a quick way to spot emerging trends before they become obvious. And for anyone else in the ecosystem, it's a fascinating window into the financial engine driving Europe's next generation of unicorns. ### The Value of Going Beyond the Headlines A simple funding announcement tells you that a company raised money. But it doesn't tell you why, or what it means for the broader market. Our CLUB-exclusive analysis digs deeper. We look at the context behind each round—the traction that justified the valuation, the competitive landscape, and the potential ripple effects on adjacent industries. Here's what you can expect from the full breakdown: - A curated list of every tracked round, sorted by size and stage - Key investor names and whether they're new or returning backers - Sector trends, like whether fintech or climate tech is dominating the week - A quick take on which deals might be the most strategic or surprising That level of detail isn't just nice to have—it's the difference between making an informed decision and gambling on a hunch. ### Unlock the Full Picture If you're ready to see the complete round-up, becoming a CLUB member is the way to go.

The deals are already done—the question is, will you know about them before your competitors do? ### A Quick Word on the Numbers While we can't share the full list here, we can tell you that this week's rounds ranged from under $1 million to well over $100 million, with a noticeable uptick in Series A activity. The sectors seeing the most action were software-as-a-service, health tech, and renewable energy—a pattern that's been building for weeks. That's the kind of insight you get when you look beyond the surface. So, take the next step.
