calling dublin vcs: be featured in the great techcrunch survey of european vc

TechCrunch is initiating a comprehensive new undertaking to gather insights from venture capital firms and investors across Europe, focusing on their respective cities.

Our survey targeting VCs in Dublin aims to assess the current state of the city’s investment landscape and understand the shifts occurring among investors as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. (Please disregard this invitation if you have already completed the survey).

We are interested in understanding the development of Ireland’s startup environment, the effects of COVID-19 on the technology industry, and how your perspectives are changing moving forward. While the majority of VCs are located in Dublin, we want to ensure representation from investors in other areas as well.

This survey is specifically designed for investors, and only responses from VC investors will be considered. Multiple partners from a single firm are encouraged to participate.

The survey consists of concise questions, though more detailed responses are welcome and appreciated.

You can access the survey at this link.

Investors who contribute to the survey will be highlighted in the published results, with links to their firms and professional profiles.

What information are we seeking? Questions cover topics such as: Which emerging trends are generating the most enthusiasm? What innovative startup concept would you like to see developed? Where are the currently undervalued opportunities? What criteria are you prioritizing in your next investment? How is your regional business network performing? And how has COVID-19 altered your investment approach?

This survey is part of a larger series intended to assist entrepreneurs in identifying suitable investors.

As an example, you can review our recent survey of the London investment community.

Are you not based in Dublin but still wish to contribute? That’s perfectly acceptable! Any European VC investor is welcome to complete the survey, as we anticipate extending the invitation to your city in the near future. The collected data will also inform future surveys focused on specific industry sectors.

The survey encompasses nearly all countries within Europe – including those outside the European Union – so please locate your country and city within the survey and participate (if you are a venture capital investor).

We appreciate your time and input. For any inquiries, please contact mike@techcrunch.com
