Six of the region's busiest first-cheque investors discuss the sectors, founders, and companies on their radar.
Europe's most active pre-seed investors are currently focusing on specific growth sectors, including artificial intelligence, fintech, and cleantech. The investment community is closely watching which new technologies and business models show potential for future success.
This insight comes from Sifted's recent analysis of Europe's most active pre-seed investors. These funds typically make their initial investments at a very early stage, often before a product, pitch deck, or even a fully formed company exists.
