Europe's tech startups were twice as likely to accept a reduced valuation in order to raise funds than their US counterparts in 2023, new data shows. Zurich-based Ledgy surveyed 2,500 tech firms across 10 countries for its study and found that by comparison, only 9% of US startups reported a down-round last year. Similarly, smaller firms with fewer than 250 employees were 26% more likely than larger firms to have experienced a valuation cut in the past year, Spirig added. Of the companies surveyed, one in five said they had delayed moves to go public amid tepid macroeconomic conditions, per Ledgy's report. Around a third of respondents indicated that a listing in the US would be their ultimate preference over other destinations, although 72% of UK-based companies surveyed wanted to list in London.

Around 40% of UK employers have given counteroffers to staff looking to job hop in the past year, a survey found. Employers are hoping to retain staff for their knowledge, and skills, and to avoid replacing them. Almost half of employers say counteroffers are effective in retaining employees for at least 12 months. Some 40% say they do this by exceeding pay offers given by other employers, while 38% said they match the offers of other employers. Half of employers are planning to use counteroffers in the next year to retain staff for their company knowledge and technical skills, the CIPD's survey found.
