The wire — 5 November 2026
Thursday, 5 November — no qualifying rounds reached the desk within the November 5 window by the 07:00 Paris deadline.
Four rounds announced on Monday 3 November and Tuesday 4 November are published today as standalone deal stories, each dated to their real announcement date:
- Biograil raises €20M financing round to advance swallowable biologics-delivery device toward Phase 1 — Copenhagen, Denmark
- Tallia raises €4M (£3.3M) seed to bring source-grounded AI research to tax advisers — London, UK
- CyberKord raises €2.7M pre-seed for an AI digital twin of enterprise IT that remediates incidents autonomously — Milan, Italy
- Virdi raises €2.6M (£2.2M) seed extension to commercialise CO₂-based catalysts for industrial manufacturers — Southampton, UK
A fifth round — Lazzaro One (Berlin), a pre-seed from B# / IBB Ventures for a maritime geospatial intelligence platform — was announced on 4 November but the amount was not disclosed; a deal story requires a verifiable figure, so it is not published at this time.
Three consecutive quiet mornings (3, 4, and 5 November) reflect both the European press calendar — funding announcements cluster in mid-week afternoon windows, not before 07:00 — and a naturally thin first week of November. The pipeline should normalise from next week.
