You're focusing on one success story out of thousands.

90%, or more, of US startups only exist to be sold to the highest bidder or to coast indefinitely long in infinite investor money, and never turn a profit.

There's still expectation in Europe at large that your company should have an actual business plan and a path to profitability.

+ DeepMind and its founders are the examples of founders who beat the game

I don't think thats's true in the UK as much. Loads of startups here follow the US model.
