One in three German startups sceptical on US investor financing, survey finds
Nearly one in three startups in Germany would have second thoughts about accepting financing from US investors, according to a survey released on Friday, in a sign of growing scepticism about the business environment under US President Donald Trump.
Germany’s startup scene has long considered the United States a key partner, but sentiment has begun to shift amid uncertainty about Trump’s policies, with 70% of the 152 tech startups surveyed by digital association Bitkom saying he presents a risk to the German economy.
