This is shocking. I came across this image on LinkedIn today and couldn’t believe it at first. Europe is slowly turning into a beautiful museum. Not one company worth over €100B was founded in Europe in the last 50 years. In the same period, the US built multiple completely new trillion-dollar giants. But what you see in the graphic below is even worse. Europe's 14 public newcomer companies worth $10B+ and started from scratch in the past 50 years are collectively worth only around $430B. At the same time, US companies meeting the same criteria are worth 70x more. Europe needs more entrepreneurs. Europe needs bolder entrepreneurs. And Europe needs to celebrate and enable entrepreneurship. People often ask me (and my co-founders): Why didn’t you start your company outside of Europe? The answer is simple: Because we care about our continent. Europe has a TON of untapped potential If nurtured correctly, I truly believe it’s more than possible to build incredible companies here too. But to make that happen, we need change and should do this: ?? Learn from the US: Adopt policies that encourage entrepreneurship—tax incentives, simplified regulations, and stronger access to venture capital. ?? Shift the mindset: Start seeing entrepreneurship and new companies as a must-have for economic growth and wealth creation. ?? Celebrate success: Highlight and support Europe’s entrepreneurs who are already making waves.

Some people believe Europe is declining into a museum with too many regulations, taxes, and low entrepreneurship because there are not enough companies with a $10+ billion market cap. But these claims don't look at the system as a whole, as it's only one side of the picture obsessed with the market cap of a company. When I see the name of the companies in the picture, it feels like their surplus is our collective deficit. - Big tech' (GAFAM) valuations are our lack of liberty and their monopoly power to do what they want with our collective information. And with AI companies, their increasing demands on energy and water, and their desire to replace human work and craft with robots. - High insurance company valuations lead to more patient deaths (and the tension that led to the murder of an insurance CEO). - Retailers (like Walmart) high valuations also mean pressure to lower salaries and precarity for their workers. - University valuations through high college fees lead to access to education limited to the wealthiest ones or high debt for the vulnerable. These lead to vicious cycles. These companies are oligopolies that can set their prices and control their markets to squeeze as much profit as possible. And this leads citizens collectively to need to work more to survive. So what could be the alternative? - Valuing what's not captured in a market cap or balance sheet. Take Spain, for example. Spain’s public healthcare system is a brilliant example of what a mutualised universal public service can be. It delivers world-leading outcomes, and it is extremely efficient. It leads to one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world at 84 years (higher than US by 4 years), and costs $3200 per capita vs. $12,700 per capita in the US. (all sources in comments) - Investing in consumer/environmental surplus instead of producer surplus: Open source projects like Wikipedia cost around $200 million annually, and WordPress has revenues a little over $1 billion (100x less than Facebook), but they serve as many people as Facebook or Google, but they cost orders of magnitude less and create lots of opportunities for others to develop their activities. China invests in its electric car industry by investing in many actors instead of a single champion to ensure there is enough competition so prices are lower and quality is higher. This creates a lot of consumer surplus, but lower-valued companies. Or if we're able to ban deep-sea mining or the most extensive pipeline in preparation in Uganda, we could save millions of tonnes of CO2 every year. - Developing a mindset of creating collective wealth instead of individual or stakeholder wealth, which can only be captured by a few. An interesting proposal for this is George Monbiot's Public Luxury and Private Sufficiency approach. (all sources in comments)
