PitchBook Releases Q3 2026 European Venture Report

PitchBook has published its Q3 2026 European Venture Report, the data provider's quarterly assessment of venture capital activity across the European market.

The report is now available to readers through PitchBook's news distribution. It covers the three months ending September 2026 and forms part of the firm's long-running series tracking deal flow, valuations and fundraising in Europe's startup economy.

What does the report cover?

PitchBook's European Venture Report series typically examines:

• Venture deal value and deal count across European markets
• Late-stage and early-stage financing trends
• Exit activity, including IPOs and acquisitions
• Fundraising by venture firms targeting the region

The Q3 2026 edition arrives amid continued investor scrutiny of European startup valuations and the pace of capital deployment following the funding contraction that began in 2022.

Why the quarterly release matters

Institutional investors, founders and corporate development teams use PitchBook's quarterly venture data as a benchmark for pricing rounds and timing exits. The Q3 figures will show whether the recovery in European venture activity reported in earlier quarters held through the second half of 2026.

The full report is available via PitchBook's platform.
