European seed and Series A tech funding accelerated: 214 startups in 2026 already exceed all of 2025

Asked:

“Which tech startups in Europe raised Seed or Series A funding in the past 3 years?”

An open-web scan found 494 distinct Europe-headquartered tech startups that announced a Seed or Series A round between 2023-11-04 and 2026-11-04. This is a broad research list, not a complete census: private and unindexed announcements may be missing, and 2023 covers only November 4 onward. Amounts are kept in their stated currencies.

Startups by year of latest qualifying round

Grouped bars count startup–stage incidences (288 Seed, 212 Series A; six startups raised both). The line of unique-startup totals sits above each pair. 2023 is partial (from Nov 4); 2026 is year-to-date through Nov 4.

Seed roundsSeries A rounds

2026 leads with 214 unique startups through November 4, already topping 2025’s full-year 200 — momentum visible in roundups like tech.eu.

Seed outnumbers Series A every year — 125 vs 93 in 2026 — with recent seeds reaching as high as $40M for London’s Machenta (europestartupjobs.com).

Headquarters span the continent, from Basel’s Atlas Bio to Estonia’s Roleo; 55 of the 494 rows have an unresolved headquarters field (linkedin.com, eustartups.news).

Evidence is spread across 62 source hosts; the single most-used URL backs only 22 rows (4.45%), so no one page dominates the list (eu-startups.com).
