Investor Allstars 2021 winners announced

Manish Madhvani, Managing Partner of GP Bullhound, commented:
“It’s astonishing to see how the European tech sector has fast forwarded five years during the pandemic. It has taken 20 years for Europe’s cohort of its most successful tech companies to achieve a combined value of $400bn. In the past year alone, $382bn was added. We have also seen almost 20 years of shareholder value created in one pandemic year. GP Bullhound has itself experienced tremendous growth, with 450% revenue growth from 2020 to 2021, $5bn of advisory transaction value delivered YTD, and having just closed its fifth oversubscribed Fund of €300m. European tech has really reached an inflexion point that will allow it to rival the US and Asian markets. We are proud to support and spotlight the entrepreneurs and investors that sit at the very heart of the ecosystem propelling the future of technology.”
