Methodology. Venture capital funds from Dealroom's funds database, counted in the year of the (final) close or, for open funds, the announcement, and assigned to the geography of the fund manager's headquarters. Fund sizes converted to USD. Funds with an undisclosed size count toward fund counts but not toward the dollar totals. The current year shows the year to date, with the grey segment projecting the full year at the current pace. EMEA is Europe plus Africa and the Middle East (incl. Israel, the UAE and Saudi Arabia). Nordics: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland.
Fund sizes. Venture capital funds with a disclosed size, assigned to Europe + Israel or the United States by the fund manager's headquarters and counted in the year the fund was announced or closed. A firm's funds in the same year are added together. The largest-firms view takes the 20 firms that raised the most in each period and shows their average raised per firm per year; the current year counts as the share of the year elapsed. The second view shows the range from the top 10% to the top 1% of firm-years. Coverage of funds is thinner before 2014, which can overstate growth since 2010–2013.
Unique investors. Every VC round since 2012 with at least one named investor (angel to growth equity, incl. convertibles), counted in the month the round was announced. An investor counts once per period however many rounds it joined. Minimum deals counts an investor's rounds in that calendar year within the current filters. Investor type comes from the investor's Dealroom profile: VC is any firm tagged venture capital; corporate covers corporate investors and companies investing directly; angel covers individuals and angel funds; other is everything else (private equity, family offices, accelerators, government and more). Sectors follow Dealroom's simplified sector taxonomy. Undisclosed rounds sit in their own size group.
