Over the last few years, we have become increasingly focused on the burgeoning ecosystem developing in Central and Eastern Europe, and as an affirmation for our support for this region, we are very happy to share our latest report covering one of its key hubs, Poland. Our report unpacks the current progress and outlook for Poland, using our ecosystem model to highlight Poland’s unique positioning in an increasingly global playing field for startups as well as interviews from Wojciech Sadowski, co-founder and CEO of Packhelp and Piotr Pisarz, co-founder and CEO of Uncapped, showcasing their views on the future of the ecosystem.
The defining asset of every leading technology company is talent. At Balderton, our job is to provide capital to support European technology companies to attract and retain world leading talent and get the best out of them. As a result, we’re fortunate to have learnt a lot about what it takes to identify, attract and retain people from the teams we work with.
In this report, we’ve set out to identify where people working in European technology companies come from, what experience they have, and what they expect in their roles. We did this by profiling almost 15,000 employees in over 1,000 venture-backed companies in Europe, and by working closely with a select group of recently backed start-ups.
We would like to share a report where we show the state of the tech ecosystem in Europe as of end of Q3 2018.
As described, the European tech ecosystem has continued scaling, consolidating the funding level observed in 2017.
Accel 2021 Euroscape: On the path to global dominance?Philippe Botteri
The European and Israeli cloud ecosystem is accelerating as never before. Back in 2016, Europe and Israel had only four public companies worth less than $9B combined and local cloud companies had raised just $900M throughout 2015. Today, Europe and Israel have generated 23 public companies worth $231B and private cloud financing reached c. $30B. The $900M of SaaS VC funding in 2015 now represents less than Europe's largest financing round, with Celonis raising $1B in June this year. These are just some of the SaaS milestones Europe and Israel have hit over the last year, so now seems like the right time to as: "are Europe and Israel on the path to global SaaS dominace?" Take a look at the insights in our 2021 Euroscape and see what the data says!

White Star Capital Germany Venture Capital Landscape 2020JeandeLencquesaing
We are pleased to publish the second edition of our German Venture Capital report and hope you will enjoy reading it. 2019 was a year where Germany has really played to its strengths and cemented its position as one of the European leaders in tech venture capital, and we are more excited than ever about the development of this ecosystem.
Our report unpacks the current progress and outlook for the German ecosystem using our ecosystem model to highlight Germany’s unique positioning in an increasingly global playing field for startups.
So what did we find?
- Germany had a record year in VC reaching $5.7bn in funding with 49% yoy growth, the second best funded country in Europe
- Germany leverages its global industrial leadership to retain its place as the top destination for European mobility VC investment in 2019, reaching $1.3bn in funding, representing 26% of total funding. Its corporate strengths also drive investments in fintech and B2B software, representing 23% and 20% of total funding, respectively.
- Corporate Venture Capital plays a key role and participates in 58% of the total funding, the highest level worldwide. Next47 (Siemens), IFB Hamburg, Bosch are some of the most active German CVCs. As LPs (investors in VCs), corporates represent 28% of total German VC funds raised, the highest level in Europe, further boosting the local ecosystem
In addition to sharing our excitement about Germany and expressing our belief that the ecosystem is stronger than ever we look at robust business networks, the continued government support via entities such as KfW and the vibrant founder community.
White Star Capital has made landmark investments in Germany and seen many of the findings play out with our portfolio companies. Tier has raised Series B in 2019 led by international investors such as Mubadala, Goodwater and ourselves, while Clark has benefited from a large domestic market for insurance.

Boosting Digital Startup Financing in Europe by France Digitale France Digitale
France Digitale was contracted in 2013 to lead the investors’ pillar of the Startup Europe initiative called the Web Investors Forum. The work of the Web Investor’s Forum is focused on 7 EU countries: Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, and France, with the following objectives:
• Draw an overview of the activity of the professional investment industry on a pan-European and local level;
• Pinpoint challenges faced by the industry that slow down the evolution of European funding landscape for funding and entrepreneurial growth;
• Showcase European best practices in the field of public policy and industry support;
• Propose an action plan to increase investment in the European Internet and mobile tech startups and grow that investment throughout Europe.
For the purpose of this mission, we travelled across Europe and interviewed over 40 General Partners and business angels in seven countries, and drew the following conclusions.
SaaS Wars: Europe Awakens. The Accel Euroscape 2016Philippe Botteri
Software is eating the world, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is eating software. But where does Europe stand on the SaaS front? This presentation gives an overview of the SaaS landscape in Europe and Israel and identifies the top 100 most promising SaaS companies in the region.
Although decision making has become increasingly decentralised, selecting the right location for a European headquarters is a critical step on the journey to becoming a global business.
Even if you are currently working with a distributed team and have no plans to invest in a physical office right away, you still need to think about where your customers are, where the talent you need is concentrated, and where you can best access markets and opportunities for long term growth.
We are happy to present you with the latest installment in our series of industry deep dives, following our Foodtech, Industrial Tech, Wellbeing, Digital Health, Future of Work, Fintech and Artificial Intelligence reports.
In our newest report, we take a look at the Mobility ecosystem, focusing on the global 2020 funding outlook, the industry's growth over the last decade, and how leaders like Uber, Grab, Citymapper and others are reshaping the way people and goods move around the world.
At White Star Capital, we approach mobility through four main subsectors: urban mobility, travel and hospitality, delivery and logistics, and long-distance transportation. Our portfolio includes startups such as Tier Mobility, a micro-mobility operator providing last-mile transportation to urban populations, including e-scooters and e-mopeds (the company just raised $250m in Series C funding); MindSay, a SaaS company developing an AI-powered assistant that helps companies in large B2C-oriented industries, such as travel and retail, optimize customer support and increase customer conversion; and Unacast, a proximity and location data platform that helps data-driven industries understand the physical world the same way we understand the online world.
The Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA) and the audit and consulting company Kreston Ukraine present the “Ukraine venture capital and private equity markets 2020” annual review, which also includes data for 8 months of 2021.
According to the results of 2020, Ukrainian technology companies and their investors closed 188 deals with investors worth USD 533.5 million. About 50% of the deals are small grants (25 and 50 thousand USD) from the Ukrainian Startup Fund. For 2020—2021, it has invested USD 5.3 million in Ukrainian projects.
Just three years ago, Ukraine did not have a single unicorn among its startups. Nowadays, as many as five of them — Gitlab, Grammarly, Bitfury, People.ai, and Ring — raised USD 1.3 bln funding and dominate the global market.
In this review, we analysed the key market trends, such as “investment focus on software projects”, “increase of foreign investors in the Ukrainian market”, “growing quality of Ukrainian startups and their interest in smart money” for the first time. The key drivers and barriers to market development were identified — the respondents noted that despite the imperfect regulatory framework, the country still has enough private capital to promote the sector.
Generally, all market players are unanimous in their outlooks and are quite optimistic about further market development. According to 81% venture and 67% private equity investors surveyed, all quantitative indicators are likely to grow, and high-tech industries traditionally represent the most promising ones.
Ukrainian investors primarily point to the experience and qualification of the team (according to 94% venture and 17% private equity investors surveyed) and the market potential of the business idea (according to 82% venture and 83% private equity investors surveyed), among the key factors for investment decisions. On the other hand, when choosing an investor, startups consider their industry expertise, investment terms, and ‘smart money’ they can get.
The study results show that Ukrainian companies offer attractive, relevant, and globally competitive solutions and demonstrate sustainability and adaptability in COVID-19. Ukraine is gradually transforming from a talent and idea exporter into a big international venture capital market player.
As London Tech Week begins, new figures prepared by Dealroom and Tech Nation for the Government’s Digital Economy Council illustrate the extent to which the UK is outpacing other European countries such as Germany and France.

The largest Insurtech company in the world isn’t in San Fransisco or Silicon Valley — but in Shanghai. As a matter of fact, Zhongan has more customers than any other insurance company in the world. Zhongan was founded in 2013 and 4 years later, went public.
The average company in our cohort has a market cap of $6.5b, founded 9 years ago, and is growing at 65% YoY. What makes these companies so successful?
It may surprise you to learn:
FinTechs are some of the fastest growing listed companies, as PurpleBricks grows @ 150% YoY, ZhongAn @ 84%, Quidan @ 70%, and RedFin @ 43% YoY.
Zhongan — arguably the worlds most successful InsurTech business, has an average gross written premium of $1.97
Chinese entrepreneurs are building $10b FinTech businesses in the span of 4–5 years. ZhongAn (insurance) began trading in in 2014 and Quidan (short term lending) in 2015.
Square generated $452m in revenues in their last quarter, as they grow 21% YoY. Its market cap is now $20b.
Subprime lending is out of favour as shares of Quidian drop 40% since the IPO. Elevate completed its IPO at 50% of its expected valuation range.
Valuations for lending companies vary greatly as LendingClub trades at 2.3x their quarterly revenue run rate, Qudian @ 3.8x, Elevate @ .4x, and Credible @ 16x (pro-forma at IPO).

2019: A Record Year for VC Investment in UK TechTech Nation
In what was another record-breaking year, investments in the UK tech sector soared to £10.1bn ($13.2 billion) in 2019 – a £3.1bn increase on 2018’s very strong figures and the highest level in UK history.
While Europe might be a single market, it’s definitely not a single tech scene. That fact makes it difficult to feel the pulse of the European tech. But if you take a close look, you’ll quickly notice that there is interesting stuff happening in Europe
With this report we want to provide a comprehensive review of investment in startups and high-growth technology companies across 31 countries in Europe. Our aim is to provide data-driven guidance, insights and inspiration to stakeholders in the European scaleup ecosystem.
European scaleups had another great year with a significant jump in funding in 2018 compared to 2017.
Wondering what countries and cities are performing well? What verticals are booming? What technology and business models have traction? How many female founders raised funding?
So there you go, 133 (!) pages packed with detailed information on the state of the European scaleup ecosystem:
If you prefer a higher resolution PDF version or need more details on a specific country or vertical , just contact me
Enjoy the reading and kindly share the report in your (social) network!
In this report we show the state of the tech ecosystem in Europe.The next goal for the European VC market is to incorporate more institutional investors as LPs. The current state of European tech ecosystem and the scale and track record obtained by European VCs will allow the industry to incorporate them as active investor in the asset class.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
