More than $4 billion European venture funds have been received by different companies since 2006, tendency that clearly shows the development of this market in the European regions.

    Plenty European companies are ready to risk a certain amount of money in a start-up that looks viable and profitable. Since 2007, European venture capitalist showed there interest for the companies that are likely to go public. It was then that the venture capital market for initial public offerings reached the amount of $67 billion.

Innova Capital, GED Capital Developers, Luxembourg’s Mangrove Capital, Benchmark Capital or Truffle Capital are just a few other firms that are willing to invest important funds in businesses that have a very promising growing rate.
