Investors poured more than $100B into European tech last year, a staggering sum more than triple the size of investments made the previous year.

Orrick helped close nearly 500 transactions, which raised more than $20B in some of the most dynamic sectors of the European market in 2021, including FinTech, Marketplaces and Energy & Infrastructure.

In an era of fast-paced technological innovation and transformational change, we have closed more than twice as many deals as any other firm in Europe in the last several years. It’s an honour to help so many bright minds usher in waves of innovation to help people and businesses around the world.

Our deep involvement in the European tech and venture ecosystem gives us unique insights into typical deal terms and market trends. We share some of those insights in our new Deal Flow 2.0 report, based on a review of deals we helped close in Europe in 2021.

The report paints a composite portrait for investors and tech companies of standard deal terms across the European tech ecosystem, and it places that data into the broader context of market trends unfolding across Europe.
