Overall, European and Israeli venture capital funds have a lot of dry powder to fund companies in the years to come, regardless of a potential recession. Another question is around exits in Europe , and availability of late stage capital. In Israel there’s also been an influx of fresh capital.

It takes so little to launch start-ups nowadays (just look how quickly 5 clones of Groupon appeared in Germany). In Germany, you definitely have very few early stage investors.
