EIF VC/PE Barometer Survey Q1 2025

In response to exceptional market conditions, the EIF has launched a new format within its long-running Equity Surveys series: our VC/PE Barometer Survey will now track the market sentiment on quarterly basis.

By gauging fund managers’ perspectives across key indicators – including fundraising, exits, valuations, access to external finance, new investments, and deal flow – the survey offers a comprehensive view of current market dynamics and forward-looking expectations.

Each edition also features an in-depth focus topic. This quarter (2025/1), we provide an overview of the current market sentiment; and examine in further depth the perceived impact of the new US administration policies on the European VC/PE landscape.
