As a solo founder i also found it easier to deal with american companies. I've had payment processors offering free consultation how to increase our revenue, and in general it feels like there is more trust among businesses there. In addition, being a non-US citizen actually makes it easier for me, as I avoid the cumbersome tax compliance. Europe can have its positives as well, e.g. i m very pleased with Hetzner's offerings but for most things you are left to figure out things on your own. There 's also an entrenched culture of EU-subsidized startups which are basically shell companies for academics etc, that rarely progress beyond that stage.
