How do Startups Thrive: An Examination of Two Ecosystems: The United States and the United Kingdom

Abstract

The United States and the United Kingdom all have young startups that end up growing based on the ideas of young entrepreneurs bring to the table to the economic world. However, not all companies survive. Regulation plays an important role for startups affecting their life span, size, profitability, employee retention, wages, and so on. These apply to both the U.S and the U.K. tech startups from either country because they might want to stay or leave depending on the opportunities that may or may not be available. Depending on the country startups do find a way to grow. With regulation being so important, there needs to be the accountability of noticing what laws coming from both the UK and America that have startups that are being affected. Added to the notion, I will be addressing both country's startup funding through provided data, what cities from both countries have the highest startup ecosystem and comparing them, and finding out the alternatives U.K startups use to acquire funding during the duration of Brexit. Finally, the U.S and U.K tech startup's activities during the time of Brexit, and COVID-19.
