Award Categories
Honoring the tried and true champions and stewards of our industry, this accolade recognizes a firm from a fully holistic view, including pure financial performance and portfolio performance as well as innovation, impact on the ecosystem, diversity, transparency, and fairness as well as team and culture.
2024 winner: Seedcamp
2024 finalists: Creandum, Notion Capital, Elaia Partners, IQ Capital
Coming in as a new award category this year, this accolade recognizes our industry’s emerging managers by the same criteria as firm of the year, but focusing on firms on fund I - III. Evaluation is thus with a holistic view, including pure financial and portfolio performance as well as innovation, impact on the ecosystem, diversity, transparency and fairness as well as team and culture.
Honoring the true newcomers, this award goes to a fund that has had its first close in 2024, recognizing their remarkable success in bringing something new and innovative to the European Venture market while building traction around their fund and vision.
2024 winner: Amino Collective
2024 finalists: Common Magic, Blume Equity, Underline Ventures
Another new addition to the awards this year, this category honors a firm that has demonstrated exceptional positive impact through their investments and practices alongside outstanding financial performance. Evaluation is based on a mix of impact performance, impact practice, influence on industry practices, diversity, governance, and fairness.
This category recognizes outstanding achievements and contributions made in the European VC ecosystem that has impacted our practices positively and helped usher in positive changes in our industry.
2024 winner: WVC:E
2024 finalist: Travis Pittman & TourRadar
Honoring the firm that has had a company that has exited and created the most value back to the VC and therefore back to the European Venture ecosystem. This is about venture capital returns as opposed to “the biggest exit” and will also encompass strategic aspects of the exit such as timing in relation to market conditions and exit strategy employed.
2024 winner: Capnamic for their exit of LeanIX
2024 finalist: Atlantic Labs for their exit of Vimcar
Celebrating a lifetime of achievement in European Venture, this award is for those who have shaped the industry through their investments, contributions, and thought leadership over 10+ years. Nominations for this award are made exclusively by judging panel.
2024 winner: Neil Rimer, co-founder of Index
Join us at the exclusive EUVC Summit in London on May 14th, where the winners will be announced and celebrated. Invitations are limited, so be sure to request yours today if you’re a tech founder or investor committed to shaping the future of European VC.
Thank you for being an integral part of our community. Let’s celebrate the best in European venture capital together!
Hello there,
Huge Respect for your work!
New here. No huge reader base Yet.
But the work has waited long to be spoken.
Its truths have roots older than this platform.
My Sub-stack Purpose
To seed, build, and nurture timeless, intangible human capitals — such as resilience, vision, trust, truth, efficiency, evolution, fulfilment, quality, peace, patience, discipline, relationships and conviction — in order to elevate human judgment, deepen relationships, and restore sacred trusteeship and stewardship of long-term firm value across generations.
A refreshing take on our business world and capitalism.
A reflection on why today’s capital architectures—PE, VC, Hedge funds, SPAC, Alt funds, Rollups—mostly fail to build and nuture what time can trust.
“Built to Be Left.”
A quiet anatomy of extraction, abandonment, and the collapse of stewardship.
"Principal-Agent Risk is not a flaw in the system.
It is the system’s operating principle”
Experience first. Return if it speaks to you.
