Agreed.
* Lack of capital
There is just much less VC available, even if normalized for the difference in size.
I know the VC scene a little bit in Germany. Total monkeys.
* Lack of attitude
Germans are much more hierarchical. Both in science and entrepreneurship I found the American personality much more suited.
* Lack of vision
You will find money in Germany for a personalized cereal/granola mix shipment service (was just an exapmple, but in fact I think it exits) but if you are into a disruptive technology they will balk. Both have different risks but both also have different pay-offs.
Edit: Reasons given due to the downvote
- jayalpha 8y agoWhy the down-vote? I think I know what I am writing about.

- hef19898 8y agoYour cereal mix service is called Mymüsli. During the time I investigated funding options I was considering to enter a business plan contest. The information given by everyone was that only inovative tech start-ups would be considered. One of the runner ups in the end was a service that allowed you to by food from local farmers, limited to one metropolitan area. I have my doubts that the general start-up ecosystemin germany knows what they are doing.
