Venture debt lending in Europe is on track to reach a new record by the end of this year, but capital is flowing into a dwindling pool of recipients.
Europe's venture ecosystem has become increasingly concentrated, and the same trend is taking place in the debt market. More than €21 billion (about $24 billion) has been invested over the course of the year, according to PitchBook data, and 2026 is on track for its best annual total on record.
At the current pace, total debt value is projected to reach around 60% higher than last year.
