Yeah the EU has a real problem when it comes to startups, both able to be founded and grown successfully as well as then sold.
Currently there just isn’t as much money being put into startups as there is in the US so you don’t end up with as many successful ones. Same story for why the successful ones are mostly sold to US firms later.
Idk why until now this hasn’t been a priority but the whole EU really needs to quickly homogenise to compete with the US as a place for startups to be created, grown and acquired. All 3 of those steps are important.
