The funding landscape in 2019
summary
Panel summarizes 2018→2019 funding as concrete shifts: 4,000 founders join Founders for Change & #movingforward, global VC money concentrates into larger tickets so deal count falls while ticket sizes rise, Estonia and Lithuania set records for total capital raised even as fewer rounds occur, governments pump capital into dozens of new funds (Poland launches ~50) and often misalign incentives, and investors start syndicating across borders and targeting harder sectors like hardware, agtech and construction.
