James Brocket Managing Partner – Europe
The average investment size remains high across all regions with a number of very significant rounds being closed by some later stage companies such as Facebook, Living Social and Brightsource in the US and Bigpoint and Spotify in Europe. These big investments lifted the regional average but it’s good to see that most of the major markets in Europe saw a big rise in average investment size.
I always think that this is one of the most telling statistics in the Index, giving probably the best indication of confidence in the sector. It’s great to see that it looks like we are on an upwards curve here. It is essential that companies in Europe stay the course and bring some stellar returns to their investors rather that play the percentages and sell out early.
