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

TechCrunch is initiating a comprehensive project focused on gathering insights from venture capital firms and their locations throughout Europe.

Our investigation into the perspectives of VCs operating in Stockholm, and across Sweden as a whole, aims to assess the current state of the nation’s investment landscape and understand the shifts occurring among investors due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The completion date for participation is the end of the current week.

We are interested in understanding the development of Sweden’s startup environment, the effects of COVID-19 on the technology industry, and how investor perspectives are likely to change moving forward.

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 contribute their views. (Please disregard this invitation if you have already submitted a response).

The questionnaire consists of concise questions, though more detailed answers are welcomed and appreciated.

The survey can be accessed here.

Contributing investors will be highlighted in the resulting reports, with references 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 is currently missing from the market? Where are the untapped potential areas for investment? What key characteristics are you prioritizing in future investments? How is the investment climate in your region performing? And how has the COVID-19 pandemic altered your investment approach?

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

As an illustration, here is our recent survey focusing on London.

Are you based outside of Sweden but still wish to participate? Absolutely! Any European VC investor is welcome to complete the survey, as we anticipate extending the invitation to other countries shortly. The collected data will also inform future surveys centered on specific industry sectors.

The survey encompasses nearly all countries within the Union for the Mediterranean region, so please locate your country and city within the survey and contribute your insights (if you are a venture capital investor).

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

(Please be aware that completing the survey does not guarantee inclusion in the final published article).
