 SCoins-and-branchn H1 2014, the investment of Venture capital in Europe grew by 27% in the number of transactions and 70% in the volume invested compared to the same half of 2013. 

Following the increased activity of Venture Capital in the last quarter of 2013, the sector maintained high levels even rebounding in 2Q 2014.

In 2Q 2014, a level of 1.65Bn$ (+23.4% vs. 1Q 2014) was reached on a total of 153 transactions (+61,05% vs. 1Q 2014). 

"Regarding the global innovation benchmark represented by the USA, it is worth noting that it represents a market approximately 7 times larger than the European one but with a quite similar trend in 2Q 2014 with 13.3Bn $ (+41% vs. 1Q 2014) and with 915 operations (+14% vs. 1Q 2014) "comments Diego Gutierrez from ABRA INVEST.

It is worth noting that this development represents a trend that runs counter to that of the investments in seed and angel phase that have reduced activity in the last two quarters after peaking in the last quarter of 2013.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
