German startups raise record venture capital but look to US listings

Original: Acht Milliarden Euro Wagniskapital bis Ende September, mehr als im ganzen Vorjahr. Schön. Nur zieht es 62 Prozent der St

German startups raised eight billion euros in venture capital by the end of September, exceeding the total for all of last year. But the boom has a catch: an estimated 62 percent of startups are planning to list on US stock exchanges rather than in Europe. Commentators warn that Europe is financing innovation while America captures the rewards, revriting debate about the continent's weak capital markets and listing appeal.

Why now: Fresh figures show record German venture funding coinciding with most startups choosing US IPOs, fuelling concern about Europe losing its best companies.
