How to Grow a Start Up pt.2
summary
Europe now runs roughly 70–80 accelerator programs, many companies still self-fund, and a post-2007/8 shock in Spain and elsewhere produces unexpected serial founders. One veteran example spins out 30 startups from a failed firm, another scales from €10m to €40m revenue after follow-on rounds. Main problems are a mid/late-stage funding gap, uneven ecosystem maturity and awkward EU rules; R&D tax credits help, and Silicon Valley presence matters.
