Tech Reset: A Stronger Europe
summary
Europe claims over $100bn in startup funding in 2021 yet faces a sharp reset: tech investment drops about 30% in Q3, Q4 valuations fall as much as 62% from this year’s highs and 19% of European VC rounds are down rounds in Q3. Founders are advised to choose cuts, down rounds, acquisitions or shutdowns decisively, raise early to avoid rescue financings, and hire talent while competitors retreat. Repeat founders prove more likely to build enduring scale.
