Average round more than 7.4 times the median

Over the 90 days to 24 July 2026, the average disclosed round stood at €38.2M against a median of €5.1M — a ratio of 7.5x, underlining that most deals cluster far below the mean, which is skewed upward by a small number of very large rounds. Those outsized deals are concentrated at the top of the market: the ten largest rounds in the window total €11.85B, equal to 42% of all disclosed funding, while the six biggest rounds alone sum to €8.89B. Pure Data Centres' €2.32B round in the UK and Isomorphic Labs' €1.79B round, also UK-based, sit at the top, followed by Germany's Helsing at €1.58B, Neura Robotics at €1.21B and Quantum Systems at €1.05B. With 737 deals recorded in the recent window against 822 in the prior one, and total funding rising to €28.18B from €22.31B, the gap between average and median illustrates how a handful of large transactions can shape aggregate totals even as deal count declines.
