<h3>What is the minimum deal size covered?</h3><p>The dataset focuses on venture capital investments in European technology companies above $500 million. Smaller seed, Series A, and growth rounds below this threshold are not captured.</p><h3>Which European geographies are included?</h3><p>Coverage spans the entire European continent including EU member states, the UK (post-Brexit), Switzerland, and Nordic countries. The dataset is not limited to EU-regulated entities.</p><h3>Are corporate venture capital (CVC) rounds included?</h3><p>Yes, provided the round meets the $500 million threshold and involves a technology company. CVC investments by non-technology corporates in European tech companies are included alongside traditional VC and growth equity rounds.</p><h3>How often is this dataset updated?</h3><p>We rerun this dataset once a month. You can create your own dataset that updates as frequently as every one hour on <a href="https://platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall">platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall</a></p>
