TechCrunch Launches European Venture Capital Investor Survey

TechCrunch is initiating a comprehensive project focused on surveying venture capital investors across Europe, alongside an assessment of their respective cities.

The survey targeting VCs operating within the Czech Republic and Prague aims to gauge the current state of the nation’s investment landscape.

Understanding the Impact of COVID-19

This initiative will also explore the changes being implemented by investors in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

We are keen to understand the evolution of the Prague and wider Czech startup environment.

Specifically, we want to assess how the tech sector is being affected by COVID-19 and anticipate future shifts in investor perspectives.

Survey Participation Details

This survey is exclusively for investors; contributions will be limited to those from VC firms.

Multiple partners from a single firm are encouraged to participate. (Please refrain from resubmitting if you have already completed the survey.)

The questionnaire consists of concise questions, though more detailed responses are welcomed.

You can access the survey at this link.

Contributing investors will be prominently featured in the final survey results, with links to their firms and professional profiles.

Key Areas of Inquiry

The survey will delve into several crucial areas, including:

• Which emerging trends are generating the most excitement?
• What innovative startup concepts are currently lacking in the market?
• Where are the most promising, yet currently underestimated, investment opportunities?
• What key attributes are you prioritizing in your next investment?
• How is the local investment ecosystem performing?
• In what ways has COVID-19 reshaped your investment strategy?

This survey forms part of a larger series designed to assist founders in identifying suitable investors.

As an example, the recent survey of the London investment scene is available for review.

Open to All European VCs

Even if you are not based in the Czech Republic, you are welcome to participate!

Any European venture capital investor can contribute, as we plan to extend the survey to other countries in the near future.

The collected data will also be utilized for future surveys focusing on specific industry verticals.

The survey encompasses nearly all countries within the Union for the Mediterranean, so please locate your country and city within the questionnaire and participate (if you meet the criteria of being a venture capital investor).

Thank you for your time and valuable input.

For any inquiries, please contact mike@techcrunch.com.
