Welcome to the Bowtied Biotech Podcast, where we dive into the latest trends shaping the venture capital landscape and their implications for biotech and beyond. Today, we’re exploring The State of European Venture Capital. In 2024, Europe’s VC ecosystem faced another tough year, with fundraising levels mirroring 2023’s slump and falling far below the highs of 2021. Yet, amidst these challenges, notable trends are emerging: U.S. LPs are increasingly seeing Europe as a prime investment destination, and a few large, well-established funds continue to secure significant capital. We’ll explore how these dynamics are reshaping the European VC market and draw parallels to similar headwinds and opportunities within biotech venture funding. Stay tuned as we break it all down and discuss what lies ahead for this evolving ecosystem.
