Seed rounds in Europe and DACH — Q3 2026

Oka reads funding announcements from European tech and business press and records each round with its date, stage, sector, the startup's country and the investors the article names. This report counts the rounds announced between July–September 2026 that are published on our funding rounds pages, where every round links to its article.

A seed round is a round the article called seed. Stage, sector and country are taken as reported; rounds without them are left out of the share they would belong to, and every share names its base. Investors are counted once per round; "led" means the article named them as lead or co-lead. Only organisations are listed — individual business angels are never named. An investor needs at least 2 seed rounds in the quarter to be ranked.

What this is not: a complete count of the market. Rounds that were never reported are missing, coverage is strongest in Europe, and late announcements about the quarter still arrive — the counts above are updated daily and dated. We do not publish euro totals: amounts appear in mixed currencies and wording ("more than $10M"), and a converted sum would be more precise than true.
