Loans cheaper? I think you're dreaming. The problem with your "standard economic theory" is that it fails to account for how much smaller a part of the world's economy the US is. The way to leave risk behind is to leave the US and invest elsewhere. I think we will see that happen at a greater scale now.

I think EU startups will do very well.




right, because EU startups are doing very well now... cheaper credit/more foreign investment doesn't change the fundamental dynamics at play when starting a company, like how rigid the laws are, or how cheaply one can build a startup.


The EU includes a lot of countries where laws are less rigid, and costs lower. Lithuania, Romania, etc.

I'm sure there's a pretty long list of European companies with successful exits. Skype, last.fm, jaiku, etc.
