Number of European VC deals nosedive as early-stage investment dries up
In Q2'17 European VC-backed companies raised across 589 deals
Europe continued to see a pullback in the number of VC deals during Q2’17, with seed and early-stage deals plummeting. Despite a fifth straight quarterly decline in deals volume, however, total VC investment in Europe remained strong as a result of a number of mega-deals. Three $100 million+ deals together accounted for $1 billion in European VC funding, including $502 million to London-based Improbable, $397 million to Berlin-based Auto1 Group, and $100 million to London-based GammaDelta Therapeutics. Governments set to help plug early-stage funding gaps Several European governments recently announced programs that could help address declines in funding at the seed and angel deal stages. In Q2’17, as part of its commitment to sustaining a strong startup and scale up ecosystem post-Brexit, the UK announced that the British Business Bank would extend the limits on its current venture capital investment program and introduce new supports to help start-up companies and small businesses in the country.8 Germany announced that it would double the amount of VC funding available to start-ups by the year 2020, and invest €2 billion over the next 10 years into the innovation ecosystem9. The French government also announced plans to sell assets to create an €10 billion fund to invest in disruptive innovation.10 B2B hybrid opportunities thriving in Germany In Germany, B2B tech opportunities gained prominence in the eyes of VC investors during the quarter. In Q2’17, two significant deals involved B2B opportunities: a $397.6 million funding round to Auto1 Group and $421 million in private equity funding to Delivery Hero. Both Auto1 Group and Delivery Hero offer mechanisms for companies to provide better services to their diverse customers — a value proposition that is only expected to gain traction across industries over time. Regardless of Brexit plans, UK continues to attract VC investment Brexit concerns continued to be a non-issue for many VC investors in the UK during Q2’17. In fact, London-based virtual reality firm Improbable hosted a $500 million+ Series B funding round during the quarter, making it one of the largest VC deals ever conducted in the country. The ability for Improbable to attract funding during a low risk investment climate bodes well for the robustness of the UK innovation ecosystem. Despite Brexit plans, the country remains highly attractive to startups and investors as a result of its strong talent base, leading universities, and government incentives and support programs. Israel taking the lead in smart transportation Israel has long been a hub for technologies that can foster innovations across industries, such as machine learning, cybersecurity, analytics, and sensors. Intel’s acquisition of Mobileye in Q1’17 only increased the attention investors have been placing on Israel. Because of this, more investments in smart transportation related technologies are expected over the next few quarters. There is also expected to be an increase in investments to Israeli software companies that can maximize the value of new technologies (e.g. platform management, data analytics). 8 https://www.thestreet.com/video/14180135/british-government-launches-plan-to-help-the-country-as-it-leaves-the-eu.html 9 https://www.thelocal.de/20170612/new-german-state-firm-to-give-startups-boost-with-2-billion-injection-report 10 https://www.wsj.com/articles/france-to-create-10-billion-fund-to-invest-in-innovation-1499279714?mod=wsjde_finanzen_wsj_barron_tickers © 2017 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”).

French VC market experiences rapid growth The VC market in France gained momentum during Q2’17 with a significant increase in VC investment and interest quarter over quarter. VC interest is only expected to increase heading into Q3, as Station F — a massive startup incubator — opened with the support of numerous global companies, including Microsoft, Ubisoft, Amazon and others. France’s new president Emmanuel Macron also recently announced the introduction of a new ‘talent passport’ aimed at attracting critical talent to the country, and proposed a new European Venture Fund to help foster the growth of startups.11 On the M&A front, Snap, Inc. (SnapChat) made headlines with the acquisition of Paris-based startup Zenly for $250M - $350M. Ireland continues to gain traction among global VC investors Ireland’s VC market remained robust in Q2’17. A $65 million raise by Iterum Therapeutics was among the top 10 European deals during the quarter, while a number of smaller deals also showcased Ireland’s growing innovation expertise. Fintech remains one of Ireland’s strongest tech sectors, able to attract early-stage funding despite the risk-adverse funding market. In Q2’17, payments messaging app Plynk successfully raised €25 million in Series A funding to help scale its operations and fuel global growth. Trends to watch for in Europe Despite significant uncertainty, the outlook for VC investment in Europe remains positive given the rapid evolution of tech hubs across the region. While the UK, Israel and Germany will likely continue to be leading hubs of investment, France, Ireland and Scandinavia are expected to continue to grow on the radar of investors. Investments in artificial intelligence, analytics, blockchain and B2B-focused technologies are also expected to increase over the next two to three quarters. Q2’17’s Improbable deal may also spur additional investments in virtual reality. 11 http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/15/french-president-macron-france-should-be-a-country-of-unicorns.html © 2017 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”).

Data provided by PitchBook, July 13, 2017. Venture capital activity in Europe continues to decline in volume, even as VC invested remains relatively robust and on the historically higher end. Particularly over the last five quarters, the slide in volume is primarily owing to a decline in angel and seed financings. “Companies in Europe are being challenged to combine good ideas, a strong management team and establishing credible plans to achieving profitability as they look to secure more funding. Regardless of stage, investors are taking a more demanding stance on where they invest.” Patrick Imbach Co-Head of KPMG Tech Growth, Patrick Imbach KPMG in the UK Co-Head of KPMG Tech Growth, KPMG in the UK © 2017 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”).

Data provided by PitchBook, July 13, 2017. The rise in corporations or their venture arms participating in venture financing hit a new high the second quarter of 2017, even if associated VC invested totals fell again. On a country-by-country basis such participation can vary considerably, but for the industry as a whole, it indicates the evolution of the CVC model and corresponding incentives for corporates to stay abreast of innovation. “Most corporates have a strategy for working with startups, whether through a corporate VC arm or an incubator or an accelerator. Everyone is investing. This could be a factor in declining seed- stage investment as many corporate activities don’t fit within traditional mechanisms of investment.” Marius Steinberg Co-Leader Smart Start Initiative, Partner, KPMG in Germany © 2017 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”).

For some time now, barring some quarterly volatility, the overall volume of first-time financings has been declining after a ramp-up from 2010 to early 2014. This is most likely attributable to increased investor caution more than anything else, although cyclicality in new venture fund formation could also be a factor, with once-new funds now maturing and no longer investing that early. © 2017 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”).

The amount of corporate venture funds going to businesses and the number of large financing rounds has increased tremendously compared to last quarter.
