The document summarizes key findings from the 2016 European Venture Capital Report by Dealroom.co. It finds that venture capital funding in Europe reached a record €16.2 billion in 2016, up 12% from 2015. However, funding slowed in the UK and Germany, while most other countries saw strong growth. The number of early stage startups also increased but fewer reached later funding rounds, likely due to more competition. Average deal sizes decreased in 2016 after increasing in prior years. Corporate investment in startups continued rising significantly.
