Dealroom

Dealroom is an Amsterdam-based data and analytics platform, founded in 2013 by Yoram Wijngaarde, that tracks startup investments, valuations, founders and exits across Europe and beyond. It aggregates data from public announcements, SEC filings, Companies House records and proprietary LP reporting, supplemented by direct outreach to companies and investors. Dealroom supplies the data behind national ecosystem reports commissioned by the UK, Netherlands and French governments, and competes with the US-centric PitchBook and CB Insights for European VC analytics; it is typically cited as more current and granular on European deals than either rival.

Dealroom counts investments by announced deal date rather than money-in date, a methodological choice that can inflate quarterly totals when large rounds land in a quarter's final weeks. Its UK figures, particularly the share of venture capital going to AI, have become the benchmark investors, journalists and the government use to judge the health of the British startup ecosystem quarter by quarter .

The pattern Dealroom's methodology captures held through the second quarter too: PhysicsX's $300m Series c on 8 June, led by Temasek with no UK state fund on the cap table, was exactly the kind of large, late-announced round its deal-date counting weights most heavily .
