How successful founders scale:  • Offer stock options to all employees • Cultivate 5+ global connections to top ecosystems - Ecosystem leaders can support through our Connect & Experience program: https://lnkd.in/gctQBy7Z • Engage at least 3 advisors With six months left in the year, now is the time to implement these strategies to ensure your startup’s success. Delving into the critical factors that differentiate successful startups from those struggling to scale, the groundbreaking Scaleup Report by Startup Genome was unveiled last September at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Melbourne. The report, derived from a decade of research and data from tens of thousands of startups, highlights that strong local and global connectedness significantly boosts the chances of scaling. The U.S., China, and the U.K. lead in total scaleups, with the U.S. dominating in VC investments. Fascinating findings: • Going global early doubles revenue growth • Serial founders and those with hypergrowth experience have higher success rates • Motivation to get rich strongly correlates with scaleup success These insights are invaluable for entrepreneurs, support organizations, and policymakers dedicated to fostering startup growth in today’s dynamic landscape.

Building a thriving ecosystem means we can't overlook the crucial VC-Founder relationships. While many stats highlight the capital disparity between the US and Europe, the State of European Tech report, along with insights from key players, has provided a clear graph showing the biggest disparities between expectations of founders and VCs. Interestingly, there's a significant gap between what VCs think founders want and what founders actually need. Save this post to remind yourself to clearly outline your expectations and craft a compelling story to win over your top-choice VC. It's essential to find a partner who truly aligns with your vision. Let's bridge this gap and strengthen our ecosystem together! 🔗 For further information you can read more here: https://lnkd.in/gbudF4uU --- The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Silicon Valley Hub aims to facilitate knowledge sharing, partnerships, and access to resources that can help drive technological advancement in Europe.

🚀 Calling all tech enthusiasts! Brace yourselves for an exciting stat: Europe is the only region globally where long-term growth in tech hasn't flattened out compared to 2020. 📈 While the US, China, and the rest of the world are on track to land at or below 2020 figures, Europe continues its upward trajectory, raising 18% more funds. This growth is fuelled by a surge in late-stage funding rounds, with a staggering 92% increase compared to 2020! 💰 Europe's tech ecosystem is thriving, with record levels of capital invested across multiple sectors, including enterprise software, fintech, and deep tech. 🌐 Europe is set to keep growing, with 41,000 early-stage start-ups currently active and an expected emergence of at least 25,000 new tech start-ups in the next five years! With the US still has better access to capital, the European tech ecosystem needs to ensure that funding flows to European talent. Share your suggestions below on how to make this happen! Let's keep this momentum going and cement our position as a global tech powerhouse! 🥳 🔗 For further information you can read more here: https://lnkd.in/gnWgRK8x --- The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Silicon Valley Hub aims to facilitate knowledge sharing, partnerships, and access to resources that can help drive technological advancement in Europe.
