PitchCombinator Directory: 100 Early-Stage European VCs (0–$1M Ticket Size)

Finding the right investor at the earliest stage is one of the hardest parts of building a startup. Most of the VCs are more focused on growth stage companies, looking to write $10M$ checks, it is more efficient to focus on early stage VCs that are much more suitable for pre-seed or early scale up companies. Geographical coverage and location can also play a huge role, especially for EU based companies, pursuing EU based VCs will be much more manageable. We compiled 100 active EU-based funds and accelerators that write checks between $0 and $1M, organized by category so you can quickly find the investors that match your stage, sector, and geography.
