European WealthTech funding dropped 46% QoQ in Q2
European WealthTech companies raised $185.5m across 24 deals in Q2 2026.
That represents a 73% decline in funding from the $698m recorded across 32 transactions in Q2 2025, a sharp deterioration on a year-on-year basis accompanied by a reduction in deal volumes.
Against Q1 2026, funding fell a further 46% from $343.2m, with deal count also dropping from 34 to 24 transactions.
Average deal value fell 24% to $10.1m as investors grew cautious
The European WealthTech sector’s average deal value in Q2 2026 stood at $7.7m per transaction, the lowest level over the last five quarters.
That is 65% below the $21.8m average recorded in Q2 2025, a steep decline in the scale of individual investments on a year-on-year basis.
Against Q1 2026, where the average stood at $10.1m, the Q2 2026 figure is 24% lower.
It suggests that investors are not only completing fewer deals but are doing so with considerably greater caution, committing smaller amounts per transaction as confidence in the European WealthTech market has waned.
Bunch, a German WealthTech company providing infrastructure for European private markets, raised $35m in a Series B round, making it one of the top European WealthTech deals of the quarter
The round was led by Portage, with participation from new backer Illuminate Financial and existing investors Motive Partners, Cherry Ventures, FinTech Collective and several angel investors, bringing total capital raised to over $58m.
Founded in 2021, Bunch serves more than 150 fund managers and 12,000 limited partners through a platform that integrates secure data systems, AI-driven workflows and fund services across the full fund lifecycle, covering digital investor onboarding, fund administration, accounting and tax reporting.
The company is targeting a structural gap in European private markets, where fund managers have historically relied on fragmented, spreadsheet-era infrastructure ill-suited to operating across multiple jurisdictions.
Proceeds will fund market expansion across Germany, Luxembourg and UK, as well as enhanced automation and AI integration across core fund operations including capital calls, compliance processes and reporting.
