Jeff has a nice Anecdote:

"12 European high tech stars. Here's the basic problem with
the European technology industry... my friend Frans is a VC based in
Geneva and he told me an interesting anecdote about how one of his
partners had shown him a list of the top 50 tech companies in Europe.
Frans said "I didn't know if I should feel good about looking at this
list of 50 companies and realizing that we had seen almost every
deal... or to feel shitty about the fact that here was this list of the
top 50 companies and we had seen almost every deal." via Stefan Smalla
