> what are some problems companies in Europe would have to deal with? What liberties are exclusive to the US?

1. Market

US: a rather unified single English-speaking market of 300 million people.

EU: 27 different markets in the EU + half a dozen markets in countries freely associated with the EU (e.g. Norway and Switzerland) in different languages, cultures and expectations

2. Money

US: unlimited unchecked runaway money. All the "unicorns" we keep hearing about can easily lose hundreds of millions and even billions dollars a year for decades, and still considered a success

EU: less money, and you are expected to actually turn a profit at some point
