Summary of FindingsInitial research shows that there are not so many VCs providing funding of €25,000 to €200,000 as many VCs prefer to make investments beyond one million Euros or dollars. In this regard, if the range can be expanded up to 500,000, then more examples of VCs backing SaaS companies can be uncovered.
