The U.S. economic narrative of "exceptionalism" underscores its relative outperformance compared to advanced economies, with 11.4% GDP growth since 2019 and projected 2.8% growth in 2024. While U.S. labor productivity has surged 30% since the 2008 crisis, far outpacing Europe and the UK, this success masks underlying issues like declining per capita growth, high corporate debt, and record 2024 bankruptcies.

Founders’ control, like Stripe’s 13-year tenure, delays exits further, prompting VCs to explore secondary markets and continuation funds, though these are more common in private equity.
