As highlighted in our 2Q 2015 U.S. Venture Industry Report, the first quarter of the year proved the continuing strength of the U.S. venture capital market, particularly at the late stage ($8.3 billion of capital invested). European venture capital was no different, with €1.9 billion of its total €2.8 billion invested coming at the late stage, as covered in our 2Q 2015 European PE Breakdown.

As U.S. VC activity in Europe increases, it’s worth taking a look at some U.S.-based investors that have been the most involved in Europe’s late stage activity since 2013:

• With an alternative office in London, Beringea has made 108 deals across 89 companies within Europe since its inception, including six late stage investments in Europe since 2013
• Intel Capital has made eight late stage investments in Europe during the timeframe, with European investments accounting for the third-largest portion of the firm’s deal flow (behind the U.S. and Asia)
• Since 2013, Accel Partners has completed nine late stage investments in Europe—a region in which the firm has completed some 125 deals in total.
