I would humbly submit that your sample size is too small. Even just the Rocket Internet output is a pretty good indicator of the size and diversity of successful startups tsrgetting the German market specifically (and thus with no incentive to move out to the US).
- Jdam 8y agoI‘ve worked at a major company that is more or less controlled by Rocket and my direct neighbor was the Germany-CEO of one of their successfuller ventures, so I think I have a rather good picture of Rocket. However, I think they have not met expectations. They have not become huge, and are just doing okay, what I consider as a failure, given their goals.
- k__ 8y agoYes, but that was to be expected from a company founded by a bunch of copy-cats.
- konschubert 8y agoRocket Internet is the opposite of innovation. If anything, the success of Rocket Internet proves the point that Germany is not good at startups.
