Sifted
Through our newsletters and website, we aim to thoroughly explore the topics that are crucial for startups and innovators in Europe. If there’s a lack of detailed, long-form reporting on trends, we’ll provide it. When valuable lists, articles on Medium, or guides about funding, hiring, or regulations are available, we will highlight them. If insightful case studies showing how companies have solved problems and learned from their experiences are missing, we’ll create those as well. Our goal is to become a reliable and independent resource for individuals in Europe’s startup and tech sectors, offering news, information, and analysis. We also want to serve as a platform for discovering the best events, content, and networks that are already out there. We are committed to exploring everything necessary to build successful companies—organizations that benefit their employees, customers, communities, and shareholders. Most importantly, we want to put our readers front and center; we want to connect with you, feature your stories, and share your perspectives, even when we might not see eye to eye. Our mission is to help cultivate a new economy in Europe that benefits everyone.

That’s also made it a sector ripe for acquisitions — according to Sifted data, there have been 62 fintech acquisitions so far this year.
