Venture Capital Deals Report 2025

We have just published our new Venture Capital Deals Report 2025.

The aim of this report is to share anonymized data with startups and investors—data we have gathered through our involvement in a large number of transactions—and thereby contribute to the standardization and improvement of the local ecosystem in the future.

Key Findings

Four out of five investments went to very young startups in their first or second funding round.

The typical investment in these early-stage projects (pre-seed and seed combined) reached a median of €500,000. The median pre-money valuation of a startup was around €6.5 million.

The gap between pre-seed and seed investments is widening. The median investment amount for the first rounds is €260,000, while the second rounds already reach €1.4 million.

We have summarized all data, analyses, and trends—including information on liquidation preferences, anti-dilution clauses, founder vesting, and ESOPs—in our new report.

In 2025, Ambit provided legal counsel in more than 40 VC transactions, confirming its unique position as the #1 legal advisor for venture capital across the entire CEE region (PitchBook).
