European Investors’ Perception of the European Innovation Council (EIC)

Thank you for taking part in this 5–7 minute survey on funding deep-tech companies in Europe. We want your perspective as a venture capitalist or investor on EIC-backed startups and the broader EIC Community, including those with a Seal of Excellence who didn’t receive direct funding.

This survey forms part of the Co-Investin EU project and aims to capture how VCs really see the EIC’s role in supporting deep tech—and how private investors can help shape the next round of EIC Accelerator laureates. As you may know, EIC-backed companies can have up to 50% of their round covered by the EIC Fund, but still need a private lead investor and co-investors. Understanding your experiences and concerns will help refine how both Co-Investin and the EIC structure their support.

All responses stay anonymous unless you choose otherwise, and the insights will go straight to Co-Investin stakeholders - and through them to the EIC and other EU policymakers - to strengthen and streamline future funding initiatives.

Estimated Completion Time: 5–7 minutes
