Anyone working in the PE/VC space last year probably felt the effects of what felt like a slow year for investment activity... But what does the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA) annual Investment Activity report for last year actually show? Well, pretty much what we had all felt on the ground... but, while activity fell year on year, the UK held up remarkably well in terms of investment raised against it's European counterparts and also continued to invest globally. Read the excellent report from the BVCA in full 🔗 👇 https://lnkd.in/gfQgH4aW
