In compliance with applicable UK regulations, Angular Ventures is an Appointed Representative of Sapia
Partners LLP (550103), a firm authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Angular is a specialist venture capital firm, built to back a very specific
type of company:
• Enterprise-oriented. If your business requires consumer adoption, it's
not for us. We back companies that sell products and services to other
companies.
• Deep technology. We are firm believers in the value of meaningful
barriers to entry, and we know there are a lot of ways to define and
construct those barriers.
• Born in Europe or Israel. We know that great innovation can come
from anywhere. Our focus is on companies born on the "right" side of
the Atlantic, specifically in Europe or Israel.
• Global ambition. While it's possible to build a great business without
targeting a global opportunity, we are exclusively focused on
companies that are chasing a truly global opportunity. In most cases,
this means a focus on US market entry from day one.
• Outstanding founding teams with domain expertise. We believe
that great founders are the main driver of success for any
entrepreneurial venture. We like "well-rounded" founders, but tend to
prefer founders that are "angular," bringing unique technical or
domain expertise to bear.
• Early stage. We like to be very early. We are not religious about being
first, but most of our investments are into companies that have raised
less than $1M before we engage.

New Investments in 2018:
Notes & Thank You
• The data in this report consists entirely of data I’ve gathered manually based on publicly available, free sources
• No paid data sources or API calls were harmed in the making of this dataset, every investment was manually classified
• This allows analysis of some aspects of the data I consider important – aspects that don’t appear in other data sources.
More importantly, it allows me to exclude deals that are really not “venture capital” rounds but tend to get included by others
• Seed investment is under-reported and adds a lot of noise to the data set, so I exclude deals under $500K
• The analysis is limited to ICT categories and excludes life sciences
• The analysis excludes Turkey and FSU countries
• All currencies converted into USD using monthly average exchange rates
• ICOs included on a selective basis; crypto companies are classified into verticals by their end value proposition
About this data:
A special thank you to Andrew Poesaste (@poetential) for help with data gathering.
He’s looking for a full-time VC gig in London and he’s awesome.

2018 started strong and got stronger
• The first, second, and
fourth quarters of 2018
were each record-setting
quarters in terms of dollars
invested
• In terms of the number of
deals done, 1Q18 was the
slowest quarter since 1Q16,
with “only” 436 deals done.
• 2Q18, however, was a
record-setting quarter with
535 deals done, surpassing
the previous record of 527
in 1Q17

Monthly pace of venture investment

consistently strong

setting month in terms of

volume is easy to spot

Even without mega-rounds, volumes are up
• This analysis breaks down
VC investments into
brackets by size:
• Seed (less than $2M)
• Early venture ($2-8M)
• Venture ($8-20M)
• Growth ($20-100M)
• Mega ($100M+)
• Readers of this report know
that I used to put the logos
of the mega-rounds into
this chart – but there are
just too many for that to
be practical

Europe & Israel - VC Investment Trends 2015-2018 - Angular Ventures

  • 1. Venture Capital in Europe & Israel Venture Investment Data: 2015-2018 Amsterdam is home to 165 canals totaling over 100 kilometers in length. The city has over 1281 bridges, over three times as many as Venice. © Angular Ventures 2018 In compliance with applicable UK regulations, Angular Ventures is an Appointed Representative of Sapia Partners LLP (550103), a firm authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
  • 2. Angular is a specialist venture capital firm, built to back a very specific type of company: • Enterprise-oriented. If your business requires consumer adoption, it's not for us. We back companies that sell products and services to other companies. • Deep technology. We are firm believers in the value of meaningful barriers to entry, and we know there are a lot of ways to define and construct those barriers. • Born in Europe or Israel. We know that great innovation can come from anywhere. Our focus is on companies born on the "right" side of the Atlantic, specifically in Europe or Israel. • Global ambition. While it's possible to build a great business without targeting a global opportunity, we are exclusively focused on companies that are chasing a truly global opportunity. In most cases, this means a focus on US market entry from day one. • Outstanding founding teams with domain expertise. We believe that great founders are the main driver of success for any entrepreneurial venture. We like "well-rounded" founders, but tend to prefer founders that are "angular," bringing unique technical or domain expertise to bear. • Early stage. We like to be very early. We are not religious about being first, but most of our investments are into companies that have raised less than $1M before we engage. 2Subscribe to the Angular Ventures weekly New Investments in 2018:
  • 3. Notes & Thank You • The data in this report consists entirely of data I’ve gathered manually based on publicly available, free sources • No paid data sources or API calls were harmed in the making of this dataset, every investment was manually classified • This allows analysis of some aspects of the data I consider important – aspects that don’t appear in other data sources. More importantly, it allows me to exclude deals that are really not “venture capital” rounds but tend to get included by others • Seed investment is under-reported and adds a lot of noise to the data set, so I exclude deals under $500K • The analysis is limited to ICT categories and excludes life sciences • The analysis excludes Turkey and FSU countries • All currencies converted into USD using monthly average exchange rates • ICOs included on a selective basis; crypto companies are classified into verticals by their end value proposition About this data: A special thank you to Andrew Poesaste (@poetential) for help with data gathering. He’s looking for a full-time VC gig in London and he’s awesome. 3Subscribe to the Angular Ventures weekly
