Q3 was Europe’s most active quarter since Q2 2024!! Growth rounds took centre stage, securing north of 50% of total funding - driven by the likes of Nscale, IQM and Nothing, three of seven new unicorns landed last quarter. Currently, it seems that data centres, AI agents and defence tech startups set the funding standards going into the final quarter of the year. https://lnkd.in/e_wiqgzh

In Q2 2025, North America didn’t just lead the way - it became the epicentre of AI agent investment. Startups and enterprises are pouring capital into real-world AI agent solutions. North America pulled in a staggering 70% of global startup funding in H1 2025, fueled by blockbuster AI deals. Crunchbase reports global startup acquisitions hitting over $100 billion in H1 2025 - a 155% YoY spike. Many of these are AI-driven. The global AI agent market is projected to surge from roughly $5.3 billion in 2025 to $42.7 billion by 2030 -and North America currently holds a commanding 40% share (Yahoo Finance). The bottom line: 👉 Funding is flowing, fast! 👉 AI agents are no longer experimental - they’re being deployed, scaled, and monetised. 👉 For professionals in the AI space, the explosion of opportunity is incredible. If the market wasn't already heating up, this confirms AI agent adoption in North America is beyond accelerating - it’s hyper-accelerating. CD are retained by a number of heavily backed AI vendors scaling their GTM teams across North America & EMEA. These companies are showing all the right data to dominate their category.

Hiring great GTM talent is hard. Keeping them is even harder... In a competitive SaaS market, top performers have options and they know it. Retention isn’t about perks or slogans, it’s about performance, purpose, and progression. The best GTM leaders stay where they can see a future. They want to be developed, challenged, and trusted. They expect transparent targets, fair compensation, and leadership that removes blockers, not adds them. Retention starts long before someone thinks about leaving. It begins with structured onboarding, clear enablement, and consistent coaching. If your high performers aren’t growing, they’re going! 👉

All told, European startups pulled in $13.1 billion across more than 1,000 deals last quarter, a flat quarter-over-quarter result but up 22% year-over-year. Early-stage investment accounted for roughly 60% of that total, buoyed by strong activity in deep tech, biotech and AI applications. This contrasts with North America, which has seen a surge of mega rounds of $500 million or more, largely into AI related companies over the past 4 quarters. North American companies raised 68% of global funding in Q3, up 10 percentage points from a year ago, with two-thirds invested in later-stage financings.
