In Q3 2025, Central and Eastern European startups collectively raised over €510 million in funding, driven by key investments in AI and deep tech, while highlighting the need for broader capital distribution across all stages of development.
Information on the Target
In Q3 2025, startups across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) raised over €510 million through 148 funding rounds. The funding landscape was propelled by several significant deals, particularly in the technology sector, where notable startups such as MaintainX, Seon, and Spacelift captured a large portion of total investment. MaintainX alone secured a €129 million Series D round, marking a high point in regional funding.
However, the overall capital distribution revealed a concentration in larger transactions, with smaller investment rounds proliferating in the ecosystem. This ongoing dynamic reflects a cautious approach from investors who prioritize established startups exhibiting clear scaling potential, while earlier-stage companies face a more challenging landscape for funding.
