Wow, how's the volume in Europe compared to the US?
I would assume that, given the current hype and rather large numbers of start-ups around Europe, the volume is comparable to the US in terms of investments made. However, I think I read somewhere that the amount invested is less than a third of that invested in similar transactions in the US.
The top firms in London are Accel, Index, and Balderton (though I would say Balderton is a notch below the other two). Highland, though not a top brand, has a UK-based vehicle that invests in Europe. Beyond that you have a lot of regional firms such as Amadeus, Atomico, Advent, etc. that invest out of smaller funds.
From what I've heard, dealflow in Europe is currently booming. You have a strong base of repeat entrepreneurs creating companies with strong markets to sell products too. Main problem is the exit environment has been utterly lackluster... how many venture-backed companies with >$1 billion valuations do you hear about coming from Europe? Not that many.
Thanks so much, joeiz. Do you know how recruitment is handled by Accel, Balderton and Index?
