PitchBook’s VC Ecosystem Rankings compare global cities based on the size and maturity of their startup networks. The framework helps founders, operators and investors assess locations when deciding where to expand or invest. Network effects matter in venture capital: Investors get more than half of their deals through referrals, according to research led by Harvard professor Paul Gompers. So it stands to reason that dealmakers should seek these networks out when deciding where to do business. The list is based on a scoring system that uses PitchBook’s proprietary data on private companies. Development and growth scores are based on data related to deals, exits fundraising and other factors from the last six years. 👉 Subscribe to our weekly LinkedIn newsletter, the "Japan FinTech Observer", here: https://lnkd.in/gNjUuSxG

The reason I slightly start to prefer the U.S. investor mindset is that they are open to taking risks on crazy ideas. European investors are way too concerned and try to calculate everything. The situation is even worse for pre-seed VCs. Their internal plans do not correlate with what founders are planning to take as risks. No surprise that new majority of tech and top startup companies are coming out from U.S. This trend should change, otherwise European ecosystem will lose companies to U.S
