Introduction. Prior to launching Angular Ventures, I would publish data on the European and Israeli venture landscape. The dataset was unique because every company was manually reviewed and categorized. At the time, I was busy raising the fund and wanted this data to make some arguments about why Angular’s thesis made sense. The report was basically a byproduct of the fundraising effort.

Today, with the help of my London-based colleague, Andrew Poesaste, we are releasing an upgraded version of this report. The big difference is that this time we are really zooming in just on Enterprise and Deep Tech, our area of focus. We are still inputting all the data manually and struggling to categorize every company in a meaningful way. We have, for example, the only dataset I’m aware of that accurately distinguishes between ML tooling, data tooling, DevOps, dev tools, and IT infrastructure. It’s certainly the only dataset I trust at this point.

Internally, we use this data for a number of things — but we are happy to be once again making some of our work publicly available. We have come a long way since I first started tracking deals in a big excel back in May of 2014.

You can download the PDF of the report, view it on slideshare, or view the entire report embedded in Medium below.
