European tech startups have never seen a funding boom of this scale

The financing amount in Europe has reached a historic high. According to PitchBook data, the median financing amount grew by 32% between 2024 and 2025, with the valuation of some startups even surpassing 1.1 billions USD at the early stage of their establishment. The influx of large amounts of American capital has pushed up the valuations of European companies, especially in fields such as artificial intelligence, but it has also raised concerns about future exit strategies and their ability to cope with public markets.
