summary
Panel argues Europe lacks later‑stage capital but shows concrete fixes: a marketplace offers revenue‑based financing that advances a €100/month subscription into a €1,200 upfront payment; a corporate investor offers strategic partnerships and access to 950 bank partners plus selective strategic deals; an early‑stage fund manages about €2bn AUM and notes seed is well funded while growth capital is scarce; an operator reports €350m revenue last year, €700m target this year and urges founder persistence, selective investor fit, and more local growth funds and LPs.
