<p>Venture Capital in Europe & Israel Venture Investment Data: 2017 Prepared by Gil Dibner Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv. Part of the original city plan dating to 1910 and named for the Baron Edmund de Rothschild (1845-1934), a French financier. blog Notes & Promos The data in this report consists entirely of data I've gathered manually based on publicly available, free sources No paid data sources or API calls were harmed in the making of this dataset, every investment was manually classified This allows analysis of some aspects of the data I consider important aspects that don't appear in other data sources. More importantly, it allows me to exclude deals that are really not "venture capital" rounds but tend to get included by others Seed investment is under-reported and adds a lot of noise to the data set, so I exclude deals under $500K The analysis is limited to ICT categories and excludes life sciences The analysis excludes Turkey and FSU countries All currencies converted into USD using monthly average exchange rates ICOs included on a selective basis; crypto companies are classified into verticals by their end value proposition Prepared by Gil Dibner follow me on (@gdibner), connect with me
