International Dealmakers: 45 Sales Tech Startups Outside The US In One Infographic
Summary
Using the CB Insights database, we analyzed deals between 2012 and 2016 to sales tech startups outside the US and mapped top international VC-backed companies that have received funding in the previous 18 months. In 2012, countries with the highest share of sales tech deal activity behind the US included Italy, the UK, and Canada. In 2016, the countries with the highest level of sales tech deal activity behind the US included the UK, India, Canada, and France. While deal activity internationally is on the upswing, the US still accounts for the vast majority of funding dollars to the sales tech category. The decline in international dollar share last year is largely due to a few private equity mega-rounds in the US, including deals to American-based Infor ($2.5B) and Genesys Telecommuncations Laboratories ($900M).
