- vellum 13y agoAccording to the 2012 Pan-European Private Equity and Venture Capital Activity report[1], DACH (Austria, Germany, Switzerland) VC funds invested only €0.8 billion in late stage, startup, or seed money. The US[2] invested $26.7 billion total, but only 65% or ~$17.36 billion was in seed, early or late stage funds. Comparing the VC/GDP ratios[3]: Aus+Ger+Swiss VC $/GDP= $1.1 billion/$4.43 trillion. US VC $/GDP=$17.36 billion/$15.68 trillion. 1.107/.248=4.46 So the US invests ~4.46x more than Austria, Germany, and Switzerland combined .
