Last season we took a deep dive into the venture investing scene here in the US, including the different approaches taken by corporate ventures teams and institutional funds, and the growth of new platforms like studios and accelerators. Now it’s Europe’s turn. We’ll take a look at the European venture scene and what investors are seeing on that side of the pond. Valuations, M&A activity, implications of governmental regulation, and fundraising trends for both VCs and startups. The ecosystem across Europe and the UK is has taken a big step forward in its maturity, with the rise of travel tech “mafias” as the unicorns like Booking and Get Your Guide spawn the next generation of startup founders with the recycled cash from those exits. Coupled with the strong corporate venture capital (CVC) foundation and the commitment by governments to support their startup ecosystems, it seems this market is flush with the alchemy of funds, talent and ideas to position it for some incredible growth. We talk to some of the big brains who are actively investing across the UK and EU to hear what they are most excited about -- Michael Treskow of Eight Roads, Bobby Demri of ROCH Ventures and Beat Blaser of Falkensteiner Ventures AG.
