Amadeus Capital Partners has been investing in technology-enabled products and services for nearly three decades. Founded by Anne Glover and Hermann Hauser in 1997, Amadeus has backed more than 190 companies and raised over $1 billion for investment to date.
When we had a chance to sit down with Anne on the sidelines of the recent Tech Tour Growth 50 Europe event in Paris, we jumped on the opportunity to get her take on the state of the European deep tech entrepreneurship and investment ecosystem(s).
After sharing some facts and figures about Amadeus Capital, we talked about how to navigate the current investment downturn (and use it to your advantage as a founder), the ongoing maturation of the European tech scene, the issue with the late-stage funding gap in these parts and the political reality sometimes hindering growth.
On top of that, we discussed where deep tech innovation tends to happen in Europe, the availability of relevant talent and capital clusters and network, what the European tech ecosystem(s) needs to reach the next level, skills development both on the company and the investor side, and much more.
