[...] But the funding will often be private: things like venture capital and crowd-funding. I know those are very important, but sometimes they don't work as well here in Europe as in the US. And I think there's a lot we could do to change that. An EU-wide approach to venture capital could ensure more critical mass, and a better chance of success. And we can make crowd-funding more visible, and more accessible: so people are more aware of not just the funding itself, but also the vibrant start-up culture it supports.
