True, I used the term loosely, perhaps I should have said "tech companies founded by Europeans"

cool idea, but I can think of plenty of startups not listed

I know, you're right, but I thought I'd start with the ones I knew about and then let founders add their own startups to the list.

Yes, it's a problem with the markers overlapping, I'm still looking for a solution to it.

Oh. I thought it meant something like Germany is a great place to get venture capital but not such a great place to start a startup.

:)) Oh no, it's not that smart! :P

Wow, thanks for this one. Until now, I didn't even know there were any angel investors in my country. Now that I know there are... well, I might just try my luck with this whole startup thing :).

What country is that? It's great to know it's useful, there are still a lot of investment funds to be added, so it might be even better than you think. ;) Best of luck with "this whole startup thing" if you decide to try it! :)

For a global overview of startup locations you can also take a look at http://startup-map.datalysed.com

Thanks for the link. Good idea to group the startups by area, this solves the marker overlapping problem. Does it only display the number of startups or can you also list startup details?

Interesting. Quite a few venture capital firms nearby (Cologne), but I don't see any actual startups until I zoom our far enough to see the startups in other countries. (and one in Karlsruhe). Wonder what that means.
