7-day funding rises despite fewer deals

Funding in the 7 days to 15 July 2026 reached €3.41B across 43 deals, up 12% from the prior 7-day window's €3.0B, even as deal count fell from 64 to 43. The increase was concentrated at the top: AI alone accounted for €1.6B across just 5 deals in the same 7-day window, more than any other sector tracked, while Fintech and Healthtech followed with €665M and €652M respectively across more deals each. Over the trailing 30 days, AI also leads all sectors at €1.87B, ahead of Fintech's €1.36B, underscoring that the 7-day pattern echoes the broader monthly picture. Germany's Helsing alone raised €1.58B on 13 July, a sum equivalent to nearly half the entire 7-day total, illustrating how a small number of large rounds can lift the weekly figure despite fewer deals overall. Germany also leads the 30-day country ranking with €4.03B across 44 deals, ahead of the UK's €2.21B and France's €949M.
