The total value of venture capital investments in young companies in the first six months of 2024 was \u20ac3.4 billion. This is a full \u20ac363 million, or twelve percent, increase compared to the same period last year. This is a sign of a turnaround after investments in startups had declined significantly in the first two halves of 2022 and 2023. This shows the <a href=\"\/en\/?s=startup-barometer\">Startup Barometer<\/a> by EY. The study is based on an analysis of investments in German startups. EY generally defines startups as companies that are less than ten years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But despite all the joy, there is also a damper: Financing rounds in the first half of 2024 fell again significantly. Compared to the same period last year, they fell by 87 deals to 367 \u2013 a decrease of 19 percent. The declining number of small financing rounds is particularly striking. The number of deals valued at less than five million euros fell by 33 percent to 200. Deals with a volume of between five and ten million euros also fell from 45 to 41. Startup Germany only recorded growth in large deals. There were six investments between 50 and 100 million euros in the first half of 2023 and nine in the first half of 2024. EY estimates that there were five deals valued at more than 100 million euros in the first half of 2023 and seven in the first half of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thomas Pr\u00fcver<\/strong>, Partner at EY, comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&quot;Despite the positive development in funding volumes, there&#039;s still no sign of a general sigh of relief in the German startup scene. On the plus side, the number of medium-sized and large deals remained virtually constant or even increased slightly. However, the sharp decline in the number of small deals under ten million euros is a development that should be viewed with concern. It&#039;s quite alarming that it&#039;s apparently becoming increasingly difficult for very young startups to access fresh capital.&quot;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Berlin&#039;s market share is declining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Berlin remains the investment hotspot in the first half of 2024, attracting the most capital (\u20ac1.1 billion). However, its market share fell from 47 to just 31 percent. Young companies from North Rhine-Westphalia, in contrast, jumped to second place. According to EY, they received \u20ac822 million in the first six months of 2024. This is a significant \u20ac653 million increase compared to the same period last year. Their market share thus increased from six to 24 percent. Third place goes to Bavarian startups, which recorded a capital inflow of \u20ac577 million (down 33 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EY recognizes investment boost for software startups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While e-commerce companies raised \u20ac395 million in the first half of 2023, this figure has so far fallen to just \u20ac233 million (down 41 percent) in 2024. According to EY&#039;s projections, startups in the software and analytics sector have received by far the most investment capital, raising \u20ac1.1 billion, up \u20ac334 million (up 45 percent) compared to the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increase in capital was even more significant in the hardware sector, where a total of \u20ac435 million in investment capital flowed in (an increase of 257 percent). Energy startups, in contrast, lost ground in third place: \u20ac349 million \u2013 \u20ac328 million less than in the same period last year (minus 48 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ey.com\/de_de\/forms\/download-forms\/2024\/07\/ey-startup-barometer-juli-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The complete study is available for free download on the EY website.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The auditing and consulting firm EY analyzed investment activity in the first half of 2024.
