Target Schools/Employers for European VC

Hi guys,

Been working in European VC for a while and am a fan of data and lists so figured I'd share some takeaways from the backgrounds of people working in European VC.

All the data is based upon LinkedIn but what I've done is to compile all the academic & employer backgrounds of the investors at European Top Funds (quite inclusive here, have included top 100ish funds incl. early and late-stage as well as American Investors investing in Europe, n=1000 ish, have also bumped American unis by 1.5x due to the dataset being heavily skewed towards EU-based investors)

Hope this is useful for anyone looking to break into VC!
