- Balderton’s sixth fund brings total raised to $2.6bn
- Focuses on early stage tech innovation across Europe
London, 27th November 2017: Balderton Capital, Europe’s leading investor in Series A-stage technology companies, today announces that it has raised a new $375m fund to support a new generation of European-born global tech businesses.The latest fund has been raised from new and existing investors from Europe, the U.S. and Asia, as the continent’s technology sector reaches a pivotal moment. A critical mass of fast-growing companies, ambitious entrepreneurs, top tier technical talent, and access to multi-stage investment means that Europe’s next global giant is set to be a technology company.
With growth accelerating – this year to date European companies have attracted more than $12.5bn of venture investments – the continent can now produce and scale tech businesses of global significance.
Europe’s technology sector has already produced many game-changing global companies, but we are still waiting for our continent’s very own Google, Amazon or Facebook to emerge. As European startups grow bigger faster, we are convinced that is finally about to change.
From A.I. to gaming, and music to messaging, Europe has built up reservoirs of world-class expertise which has inspired a generation of entrepreneurs with ten times the ambition of a decade ago
