Why European founders launch/move their startups in the US? Every entrepreneurial story is different. That said, the number of European entrepreneurs launching their startups abroad is on the rise. And the number of European startups relocating abroad (we call them "dual companies") is a significant percentage of EU scaleups (something between 10-15% based on Mind the Bridge data). Interesting the answers Riccardo Di Molfetta, CEO & founder of Symbiotic, #AI #startup based in Boston, gave to Franz Russo on StartupItalia. Riccardo mentions 3 reasons: 1) The fact I was in the US studying while I decided to launch my startup (hint: if our best minds move abroad to study, this will more likely happen) 2) The larger availability of capital and the higher risk attitude of US VCs 3) The superiority of specific ecosystems (in this case Boston with Harvard and MIT) Food for thoughts. #europe #scaleups #dualcompanies Hidde Politiek Jekaterina Novikova Jochen Brodersen Natasa Kurucki Gabriele Salvo Max Brigonzi Mattia Poletti Giorgio Di Fiore Serena Valente Alessia Pisoni András G.
