Go4Venture Monthly VC Bulletin - April 200612/07/2006. Source: Go4Venture.
 Go4Venture's update commenting on the results from their European Technology VC Headline Transactions Index, based on the number and value of transactions reported in professional publications.
- Fundraising activity was very quiet during April, with just three Headline Transactions of more than €7.5 million.
- Interestingly, none of these deals were in the UK, but two were in France, fully financed by local investors, re-emphasizing the significant depth of the French VC market (as well as the strong pipe-line of innovation coming from the country, on the back of high quality education and a vast panoply of subsidies and other mechanisms to support R&D).
- Despite the drop in deal flow this month, the Headline Transaction Index (HTI) is still comfortably ahead on a cumulative basis compared to the same period last year (€ 555 million total transaction value up to the end of April 2006 as compared with €476 million at the same point last year).
