An excruciating metric (and the reason I left London for San Francisco :-):
"The European economy is basically the size of the U.S. But last year it saw only $6.2 billion invested in 1,074 deals. And in 2012, 16 European companies backed by venture capital went public, raising 379 million Euros between them... By contrast, the U.S. saw 3,826 venture deals worth $27 billion last year."
