Number of investments in startups in Europe 2017-2022
London, Paris, Berlin and Stockholm were particularly popular places for startup investment rounds. A startup is usually defined as a starting (group of) entrepreneur(s), but there are many different definitions of this term. For this specific ranking, the source mentions that it included startups that are less than ten years old. Exceptions were companies which did not mention their founding year, or which were officially listed as a startup despite passing the ten-year mark.
