We curate most relevant posts about Venture Capital on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.
This edition provides a comprehensive analysis of the 2026 venture capital landscape, highlighting a market defined by capital concentration and the dominance of artificial intelligence. While total funding has rebounded, investment is increasingly clustered around mega-rounds and established firms, creating a competitive environment where warm introductions and niche specialisation are essential for success. Founders are encouraged to prioritise operational discipline, sustainable unit economics, and self-aware leadership over the mere pursuit of high valuations. Regional updates from the UK, MENA, and Europe illustrate a shifting global ecosystem where specialist managers and corporate venture arms play more strategic, gatekeeping roles. Additionally, the reports feature practical tools like investor databases and guidance on navigating complex legal frameworks and secondary markets. Ultimately, the collection underscores that modern fundraising requires precise targeting and a deep understanding of investor incentives rather than broad outreach.
