This is now changing:

In-part fuelled by the rise of the German and Russian venture markets. This has included French and British firms investing in Germany’s rising internet scene, as well as Russian firms making bold moves into Western Europe.

US and Nordic firms are also increasingly investing across Europe.

Number of HTI transactions having no foreign investors has dropped from ~50% in 2009 to become a minority at 38% in 2012.

drive more ambitious international expansion:

Access to large US market.

Supported by London financial centre acting as link between US and Europe.

Both funds with EU presence (e.g. Accel, Benchmark, Intel, Insight) and those flying in (e.g. Canaan Partners, Carmel Ventures, Sequoia, Spark, Summit).
