July ended so it's time for another monthly investment update for Europe & Israel. While not the most active month of the year, July was still ahead of the same month last year and so 2018 continues to extend it's lead over 2017. Meanwhile, the UK extended its lead over other countries. Major investment rounds included Greensill, Glovo, Improbable, Secret Escapes and others.
