Although it was to be expected, or at least hoped, that the beginning of the new year would bring some changes to the European technology scene, the data our research team tracked showed otherwise. The trend that was noticeable when we summarized 2022, with all the drops in the second half of the year, unfortunately, continued in the first month of 2023.
According to Tech.eu data, in January 2023, European tech companies collected €4.7 billion through 384 funding deals. Just for the sake of comparison, in January 2022 €11.7 billion was collected through 448 deals, while, as we can see, the first month of 2023 showed a significant drop (around 60% in total funding of the previous year, although the number of deals fell by around 14%).
It's clear that investors are investing less or at least more carefully in European tech companies. If we look at the number of investors who participated in these deals, over 1,150 investors participated in January 2023, which is almost at the same level as in January of the previous year (1,240).
