Deutsche Börse Venture Network is expanding its offering in Central and Eastern Europe: Bulgarian startups can now become early members of Deutsche Börse Venture Network and better position themselves towards international capital providers and stakeholders in one of Europe's leading startup networks. This is made possible by a partnership between the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) in Sofia and Deutsche Börse's pre-IPO platform.
According to data provider Dealroom, there are currently over 800 startups and scaleups in Bulgaria. With around 70 companies, Bulgaria also has the highest number of fintechs in Southeast Europe. The number of financing rounds, especially in late stages from Series C onwards, has risen sharply since the beginning of the year, already exceeding the figures of the last two years in the first quarter.
