Fall In The European Venture Capital In The Year 2011

A Dow Jones report suggests that there has been a 28pc down slope in European venture capital deal process if compared to the previous year.
The Dow Jones Venture Source points at a raised €2.2bn through 447 deals in the first six months period of 2011 by the European venture capital backed companies and also the invested capital was flat.
Last year both capital raised and the amount of European venture capital backed IPOs were marginally more arriving at their top degree since the first six months period of 2007.
Anticipations about slow and mismatched economic recovery of Europe are among the main grounds for forethought within the European venture capital investors.
Owing to such economically feverish conditions in Europe, European venture capital investors might be interested to invest in smaller proportions of less hazardous later-stage fundings in running industries and avoiding investments in newer ventures.
The most popular name for European venture capital investment in the continent was the UK claiming 35pc of total invested capital in the first six month period of 2011.
