The Watchlist

The watchlist is a premium media product tracking what’s happening in the European startup ecosystem, outside the usual noise/clickbait you may find elsewhere. Our coverage is optimized for a proper high signal/low noise ratio – i.e. we extract the essentials, add data and provide business context for useful and actionable intel.

Introductory price:

• Curated early-stage deals

Every week, we highlight the most important fundraising deals in Europe, a highly curated selection from what we track daily and add over at Nordic 9 – some may be in the media, some may not, some may be in Crunchbase or Pitchbook, some may not.

• Investors moves

Every week, we track investors moves such as who hired who, who raised funds, who did exits, Europeans dealing outside Europe or other strategic moves.

• Most active investors and their deals

We monitor closely on monthly basis the most active investors in Europe – angel investors, European VCs and international funds.

• People directory

Access to a premium CRM-like database of top-tier VCs from across Europe – meticulously detailed with the investor’s name, country origin, company affiliation, office they’re based in, specific position, and direct LinkedIn profile link.

The PRO

The PRO is suitable for the professional community interested in the industry innovation culture as well as track what’s happening at the edges, as way of covering the blindspots of their already comprehensive stack.

• Everything in The Watchlist

PLUS

• In-person Community

We organize highly curated events putting together investors and early stage startups. The events are by invitation only and our PRO customers have priority.

• Stealth signals

We keep track of stealth founders and super early stage startups from Europe – raised very little money, bootstrapped or stealth, not yet in the usual VC scrapings.

• Deep-dive cheat sheets library

We produce cheat sheets – namely startup mini-case studies, investors profiles or deep data-driven reports with facts and analysis related to the private investment market. You also get access to a library archive of 200+ cheat sheets covering multiple European angles.

• Curated deal database

You get full access to Nordic 9, a highly curated Europe-focused deal database, alternative to the two or three sources used by everybody else. Nordic 9 is different as it uses qualitative means of data collection and cleaning, while presented in a super easy format – there’s also geographies or verticals where we tend to have data others do not.
