About us
We help our clients discover the world’s most promising companies through predictive intelligence. We place them at the forefront of innovation with industry-leading insights and benchmarks. We also make entire ecosystems more connected and help them unleash their full potential through data transparency.

Our data
Dealroom is the foremost data provider on startups, growth companies, and tech ecosystems around the globe. 

We combine machine learning and data engineering with robust verification processes and a strong network of ecosystems. These days, companies grow from seed stage to unicorn within a few years. Therefore historical data is no longer enough. The next big thing can emerge from anywhere in the world, not just Silicon Valley or other established tech hubs. Real-time data and predictive technology are required, using powerful machine learning-based algorithms.

Our local government partnerships form an interconnected network, sharing data & knowledge. These win-win partnerships give Dealroom access to unique data and are possible thanks to an API-first approach.

Tech ecosystems are built on talent, capital, innovation and infrastructure. These are the four key layers. We’re the intelligence layer for tech ecosystems, connecting the dots.

In summary, our mission is to accelerate the global spread of entrepreneurship & innovation.

Wall Street Journal: “Energy, Climate and AI Bets Are Powering Europe’s Venture Sector” 

"European startups raised $15.5 billion in the second quarter, up 14% from the first quarter and up 12% from the same quarter of last year, according to Europe-based analytics firm Dealroom.co. Meanwhile, the amount invested into North American startups rose 9.6% in the second quarter from the prior quarter while Asia deal value rose 6.4% over the same period.

"Energy was the most funded sector in Europe in the first half of the year, netting $5.7 billion, while funding raised by AI startups accounted for a record 18% of venture funding in Europe, up from about 11% in 2021, Dealroom.co said. Before last year, energy startups typically raised less capital than fintech, health and enterprise software startups."
