Rounding Up Euro VC Dotcom Investments
How much money has gone into consumer Internet and media companies in Europe this year? That is the question that Paul Fisher, a corporate finance advisor at First Capital in London, is trying to answer. He is publishing his findings in his Coffee Shops Of Mayfair blog. The idea is to list 2006 Internet and media investments by the end of the year.
So far his research shows that the investment in the sector has increased, something he had predicted earlier in the year, as firms like Accel wake up to the sector, and US VCs put money into European firms in this category (part of a general interest in Europe by US VCs, the alarm:clock euro might add).
Fisher writes:
The type of companies are fascinating too: Far more online-offline models such as Moo and Spreadshirt, some of the filter technologies that excite me so much like Netvibes, PageFlakes and Last.fm, and also a new breed of online media properties like the wonderfully named DailyMotion.
