To be fair funding options for US companies compared to EU ones is absurd. US tech is swimming in money compared to EU tech.



which is what the thread is about - US tech is swimming in money partly because the US supported their tech industry to the point where it became a big monster swimming in money, at which point the brains in EU drain off to the money oceans of the US.


I wonder how much of the easy access to credit in the US is simply the strength of the dollar - we keep printing more $$ but the dollar doesn't devalue as much. Add to the fact that our poor interest rates on savings accounts makes private equity investments the only means to increase wealth.


The joys of being a reserve currency.


EU investors are way too conservative.
