In 2015 StartupJuncture counted 150+ deals. This year the number was slightly lower: 143. ‘We noted a big difference in the average deal size, being 1.79 million euro in 2016, as compared to 2.82 million euro in 2015. The median investment this year was similar to that of last year: 650.000 euro.’
Medtech startups are well represented in 2016’s top 5 of funding rounds. Rank 1, 4 and 5 are for G-Therapeutics (implants for paraplegia patients), Nightbalance (sleep apnea) and BlueBee (DNA analytics). Gadeta (6) is just behind.
