Venture funding in Europe for 2024 has fallen to $45 billion, according to Atomico, marking a decline from the $47 billion raised in 2023. Despite this, there are signs of stabilization in the sector, with the IPO window expected to open, offering new opportunities for European startups. The report also highlights that through mid-November, only $3 billion in IPO value and $10 billion in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have been recorded, indicating a cautious approach to market exits. This decline comes amidst a broader tech recovery, suggesting that the sector might be finding its footing.
