Europe has long been a key hub for the global technology industry, with proven winners across sectors and countries. It is only in the last two years that Europe has established itself as a leader in artificial intelligence, with London and Paris as the main innovation hubs. The reasons for this are neither surprising nor new: world-class institutions and engineers, a growing culture of entrepreneurship, a developed financing system, and increasingly third and fourth generation founders.
Since its founding in 2000, Balderton has invested in more than 275 technology companies from across Europe. The current portfolio includes global market leaders such as Revolut, Dream Games, GoCardless, Contentful, Aircall, Wayve, Writer and PhotoRoom. Many previous investments have been successfully closed, including companies such as Darktrace, Depop, MySQL, Peakon, Recorded Future, Talend and THG.
