Thought personal blogs written by startup founders were a good read?

Then you might be pleased to learn that blogs penned by European investors can be equally insightful, inspiring and amusing.

You'll notice there's a stark imbalance in our list though. While researching investors and VC firms of all sizes from across Europe, it was clear that men still typically dominate core investment teams while women mostly appear in operational or assistant roles.

The good news is that the gender disparity seemed to narrow at Scandinavia-based firms such as SEED Capital and Northzone. The bad news: almost none of these investors maintained a blog (in English).

If 2014 is the year that “women's voices assumed an unprecedented power“, then hopefully 2015 is a year that more women are moved to talking, refusing to be silent – including in the realm of investment and entrepreneurship.

From outlining investment criteria in-depth to jotting down inside perspectives on the venture capital landscape in a particular tech ecosystem, investor blogs can be a valuable resource for entrepreneurs and fellow VCs alike.

Here's our roundup of top European investors to follow (in no particular order):
