US Funds moving to Europe

Deputy Head of Financial Services, Head of Fintech

Interesting to see that more and more US VCs are looking towards Europe.

US funds are coming because Europe is comparatively cheap. Startup valuations are notoriously higher in the US than in Europe, cost of living and talent is generally much higher too — and as a result businesses on the other side of the Atlantic frequently raise several times more money than their European competitors. For many US investors, this difference is getting out of hand.
