Overview:
For the first time, we are proud to release a dedicated report on the European venture capital landscape.

As one of the most active and experienced investors in European VC secondaries, fund commitments, and direct deals, Vintage offers a unique vantage point on how far the market has come—and where it’s headed next.
This report is rooted in Vintage’s proprietary data, deal flow insights, and decade-long track record across the continent. It also reflects our growing commitment to the region, marked by the opening of our London office and deep partnerships with leading GPs and LPs.
