German Venture Capital Barometer 4th Quarter 2024

Recovery in German VC market sentiment suffered year-end setback

After the slump in sentiment in the German venture capital market appeared to have been largely overcome, the business climate fell again at the end of 2024. The VC market sentiment indicator dropped to -4.1 balance points in the fourth quarter of 2024. This decline is primarily an expression of the setback in the assessments of current business conditions, while expectations improved. The improved expectations give reason to be optimistic that the business climate will soon gain new momentum. The initial outlook for investment activity in 2025 therefore remains good despite mixed signals from deal flow.
