A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF U.S. INVESTORS ARE EX-FOUNDERS
In the U.S., over 70% of venture capitalists are former founders who have transitioned from building their own companies to investing in others like us. In contrast, this rate drops to less than 30% in Europe.
For emerging companies, partnering with investors who boast entrepreneurial experience can be invaluable. They possess a firsthand understanding of your challenges and can offer empathetic, experienced-based guidance.

go where the money is
Before the COVID pandemic, the U.S. saw venture capital investment five times greater than that in Europe, despite Europe having a third more population. However, both regions fund a roughly similar number of startups.
This comparison, though, doesn’t paint the full picture. The U.S. benefits from a single, unified market with one primary language and a consolidated legal framework, unlike Europe’s 47 diverse nations, each with its own tax regulations. Consequently, Germany, Europe’s largest single market, is still 26 times smaller than the USA, illustrating a different scale of opportunity from an investor’s perspective.

Startups fortified in the US have a greater opportunity to thrive globally and can then effectively conquer European and other markets.
