Start-up life is hard, but Acorai's recent round would not have been possible without Sophie, Matthew, Richard, and Morag at Goodwin holding the pen. I couldn't endorse the London team anymore! For those founders in my network, I would suggest meeting and planning early to ensure a smoother ride. #startup #venturecapital #legalstrategy

Last week, Galen Growth | Insights You Can Trust shared illuminating data on the deployment of funding across Europe in the first four months of 2024. If you missed it, check out my post from last Friday for the key metrics. This week, we delve deeper into the funding rounds that attracted capital during this period, and the findings are both enlightening and concerning. Investors in Europe are showing a strong preference for early-stage ventures, with a significant portion of funding flowing into Grant, Seed, Series A, and Series B stages. While this is indicative of a thriving startup ecosystem, it also raises a pertinent question: Will this focus on early-stage ventures pose challenges in the near future? As we witness this concentration of funding in the early stages, it's essential to consider the implications for growth-stage European Digital Health ventures. How are they addressing their funding requirements amidst this landscape? #DigitalHealth #Funding #Europe
