Is Asia coming for the US in Venture Capital?

Long-term shifts are impossible to ignore

The US still dominates the technology and VC sectors in both deal volume and dollars invested.

But long-term shifts are impossible to ignore:

1997 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞

🌏 Asia: 3%

🌎 US: 86%

2023 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞

🌏 Asia: 28%

🌎 US: 51%

This isn’t an isolated trend:

Over the past few decades, I've seen Asia surge in R&D spending, science output, patents, and family office / LP activity.

Maybe it’s time to rethink the old saying: "America innovates, China replicates, Europe regulates."

🌍 Fun fact:

Switzerland ranks #1 in Europe (and even globally!) on many innovation metrics. Turns out Swiss entrepreneurs do more than just great watches.
