Are the Americans eating our lunch?
Have you ever wondered why European companies often turn to non-European investors for their growth capital?
Europe’s population is 50% larger than the US, with a GDP that's only about 20% less.
European VC funds are actually outperforming US VC funds in terms of net IRR.
Despite this, there’s a glaring disparity:
US VCs have more than 5 times the capital available compared to European VCs.
In Europe, 1 out of 5 Series B rounds (€20-50M) and nearly half of all rounds over €250M are led by US VCs.
Speedinvest and INSEAD are conducting a survey among LPs to find out why they are not allocating more to European GPs despite recent evidence that European VC is doing at least as well as its American counterparts.
The survey consists of 21 questions and will take you a maximum of 5 minutes to complete.
Let’s support each other in shaping the future of European venture!
