European Venture Capital Trends, Exit Valuations, and Legal Updates
Hi everyone,
I’m a transactional lawyer based in Portugal, primarily focused on venture capital deals over the past three years. As we approach the end of 2024, I thought it would be interesting to open up a discussion to gather insights from across Europe about the state of the venture capital market this year.
A few questions I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
- Exit Valuations: How have valuations trended across key markets in 2024? Any standout sectors or significant differences compared to prior years?
- Market Trends: What general market dynamics have shaped venture capital this year? Have funding rounds shifted in terms of size, terms, or sector focus?
- Legal Developments: From a legal perspective, have you noticed any notable changes or trends in deal documentation or the structuring of transactions (e.g., terms in SPAs, SHAs, SAFEs, or convertible notes)?
Additionally, I’d love to hear your expectations and interests for the venture capital landscape in 2025.
Looking forward to hearing your views!
Best,
