This document discusses scaling startups in Europe and access to capital. It provides the following key points:
1. There is growing capital available for European startups, from seed funding to later stage rounds, however the US still dominates in total funding amounts.
2. Capital comes from a variety of sources including angels, seed funds, crowdfunding, venture capital funds, corporate investors, and venture debt. Tax benefits in countries like the UK have also helped attract more funding.
3. While some hubs like London and Berlin are strong, the US remains dominant for late stage funding rounds. Founders must consider options for continuing their company's scaling internationally.
