Fintech and Energy Lose Capital Ground Despite Mixed Deal Trends

Fintech saw capital fall from €2,163M to €1,955M (-10%) even as deal count rose from 57 to 71, indicating smaller average round sizes in the recent period. Energy declined more sharply, dropping from €871M to €567M (-35%) with deal count also falling from 40 to 29. These two sectors are the only ones in the dataset showing both capital contraction and, in Energy's case, simultaneous deal count reduction — a dual negative signal.
