Welcome to our Monthly Business Technology Pulse!

In the Business Technology Pulse, we look at recent trends and performance within each theme and the outlook for the future. We delve into the top M&A and fundraising deals in Europe and look at the financial performance of public companies in each core theme, giving us an insight into the current industry landscape.

🔥 Key Highlights for October include:

  • The mid-market PE space is active for Tax & Accounting, whilst the VC/Growth space has been consistently declining for the past year 

  • After a booming summer season, HR & Payroll showed a significant funding drop this month; this should be rebalanced as we approach the end of the quarter

  • BPA is still riding the wave of AI and automation use cases for early-stage funding, with emerging leaders such as H Company, CUBE and Pigment having raised in H1 

  • The RLC space is healthy with ESG and Legal AI tools still attracting early-stage funding across Europe

Check out these and other key trends and deals in Europe neatly summarised in our Business Technology Dashboard:
