Top 10 Countries by Venture Capital per Capita (2026) | Gazett.eu Global Ranking

Where does the world’s smartest startup money go in 2026?
In this edition of Gazett.eu Insights & Rankings, we unveil the Top 10 Countries by Venture Capital per Capita (2026) — a data-driven look at how much VC funding each country invests per person.

Built from PitchBook, Dealroom, and national VC associations (IVCA, Startup Estonia, CVCA, etc.), this ranking normalizes venture funding by population to show which nations generate the most innovation per capita. The result is a balanced indicator of entrepreneurial capital intensity — not just market size.

💡 Methodology (Gazett.eu 2026 VC Intensity Score)

VC Score = (Venture Funding 2024 ÷ Population) → normalized to 1.00

Additional context columns used in the Gazett.eu card:
• VC per Capita ($): 2024 actual USD values rounded to whole dollars.
• Trend: 2024 → 2026 momentum (↑ moderate, ↑↑ strong, ↑↑↑ surging, → flat).
• Deals: deal density (High / Medium / Low) as proxy for ecosystem depth.

All data converted to USD and cross-checked for currency consistency.
This approach lets smaller innovation-rich countries like Singapore, Israel, or Estonia be compared fairly with large economies like the USA or UK.
