How this list is made
- A round is listed when a company, investor or press announcement, or a startup database, names BrightCap Ventures among its investors. Each listed round links to its announcement where one is on record.
- Amounts are the size of the whole round, not the part BrightCap Ventures invested. Amounts are in euros, converted at about 1.10 US dollars to the euro.
- Stages follow the funding reports: the label the company announced, placed by size where the label clearly does not fit.
- Rounds that were never announced, or that do not name their investors, are not here, so the list is a floor.
Countries our record covers: Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Czechia, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo, Moldova, Finland (from 2026), Sweden (from 2026), Norway (from 2026), Denmark (from 2026), Iceland (from 2026).

The whole market, country by country: startup funding reports. Next update: January 2027.
