Angular Ventures is a venture capital fund based in London, Tel Aviv, and New
York that backs early-stage enterprise tech companies from Europe and Israel. We
typically invest between $250K and $1.5M anywhere from “day zero” to Series A.

• The data in this report consists entirely of data
we’ve gathered manually based on publicly
available, free sources
• No paid data sources or API calls were harmed in
the making of this dataset, every investment was
manually classified
• This allows analysis of some aspects of the data
we consider important – aspects that don’t
appear in other data sources.
More importantly, it allows me to exclude deals
that are really not “venture capital” rounds but
tend to get included by others
• Seed investment is under-reported and adds a lot
of noise to the data set, so I exclude deals under
$500K
• The analysis is limited to ICT categories and
excludes life sciences
• The analysis excludes Turkey and FSU countries
• All currencies converted into USD using monthly
average exchange rates
• ICOs included on a selective basis; crypto
companies are classified into verticals by their end
value proposition
A note on the data
Heatmap of enterprise and deep tech VC investment activity across Europe and Israel
(2018-2020, number of investment rounds)
4. August 15, 2020 4
• Previous versions of this report – released before Angular Ventures was
launched – covered the full spectrum of venture capital in Europe, including
consumer
• We continue to track all this data, and the first section of this report shows
overall venture capital activity in Europe and Israel, including consumer
investments
• We also show that venture activity in both Europe (ex-Israel) and Israel has
been reset to a “new normal” where enterprise and deep tech accounts for a
larger share of activity than a few years ago

US VCs in Europe and Israel in the 18
months ended June 2020
• We include Accel and Index as US VC
funds due to their significant US
operations and clear status as global
funds
• Numbers refer to all investment rounds
during the period, not strictly “new”
investments
• Our data is based on rounds that are
publicly announced –we are
undoubtedly missing rounds that are
kept confidential
• We include Techstars and YC but
suspect that our data set is significantly
under-counting their activity – as we are
only capturing rounds where their
involvement is picked up by the press

• Our data set is unique because we review every company and categorize it in
three dimensions
• The first dimension, which we have touched on, is the “target market:”
enterprise, SME, OEM, consumer, government, agriculture, or telecom
• The second dimension captures the vertical market: fintech, security, IT
infrastructure, ML tooling, etc.
• The third dimension captures the business model: SaaS, software, services,
HW system, components, semiconductors, etc.
• The charts that follow leverage this segmentation data to provide deeper
insight into where VCs are investing

Business models
(number of investments)
• SaaS and software are the two most
dominant categories for business
models in the enterprise and deep tech
landscape – and they appear to be
growing even more dominant over time
• Admittedly, the distinction between
these business models is blurring: SaaS
pricing models are dominating, but
open source and freemium models are
confusing the picture and a fair amount
of “traditional” software remains – so it’s
probably best to look at these
categories together
• Marketplaces seem to be decreasing in
frequency slightly
• HW systems are declining more rapidly
• Components, semiconductors, and
materials are vanishingly rare

• Notice the large concentrations of
Israeli enterprise security software
and Israeli enterprise security SaaS
• Notice also the large concentrations of
UK enterprise financial software, UK
enterprise financial SaaS, and UK
enterprise health software

concentration of German enterprise

the UK and Israel in enterprise SW
