How we verify.
European companies that Dealroom publicly lists as having reached a $1bn+ valuation or exit. This is an all-time outcome universe, not a current-private-only list.
Dealroom reports 726 European valuation outcomes, while its public Europe payload exposes 694 names. The remaining 32 names require licensed or individually sourced enrichment.
Snapshot dated 2026-08-29. This is a living, source-reviewed index.
- Definition
- Companies with European roots that have reached a $1bn valuation or exit. Records with public, listed or acquisition language in their status are labelled as historical outcomes rather than removed.
- Valuation is a dated datapoint
- A valuation is only true on the day it was disclosed. Every figure here carries its own date, currency and source, and nothing is converted into a common currency.
- Founder blanks
- 133 of 694 records carry publicly disclosed founders. Where a founder is not publicly shown, the record reads “Founder record being verified”. No name is inferred.
- Triangulation
- 4 records have been refreshed against recent external reporting and carry a “Triangulated” marker. Everything else is baseline public data.
Notes on the source data
Dealroom provides the roster, structured company fields, and many public founder profiles.
Scaling Europe dispatches are used to refresh selected recent valuation signals.
No blank founder field was guessed; use founder_verification to decide what can be published.
For a public live dashboard, verify valuation and ownership status at the company/round level before treating it as current.
