UK leads Europe's startup funding race, but with a catch
New research shows startup investment in the UK is growing. The headline, however, signals that the lead comes with a caveat.
Startup investment in the UK continues to grow, according to new research reported by the European startup news site EU-Startups. It points to billions in funding for university spinouts, larger investment rounds in Cambridge and a wave of funding for DefenceTech, the defence technology sector.
The publication notes that investors appear increasingly willing to back established, capital-intensive companies. Its headline stresses that the UK is indeed ahead in Europe's startup funding race, but that the lead comes with a catch.
The excerpt available does not spell out what that caveat is or give specific figures, so a fuller picture of the research findings can be found in the complete publication.
