$244bn to the US, $15.2bn to the UK - startup funding ranked by country

One chart, Tracxn data, and a gap most European founders underestimate: the American market is more than 16 times the size of the second-placed country.

- India takes third with $10.5bn, ahead of China ($7.3bn) and Germany ($7.0bn)
- Singapore $4.5bn, Israel $4.2bn, Switzerland $3.5bn close the ranking
- India also logged 42 tech IPOs in 2025 - the pipeline is reaching public markets, not just private rounds

Useful as a reality check before a fundraising plan: if the deck assumes European investor density behaves like the American one, this is the ratio to argue with.
