While European startup investment has tripled to £45 billion by 2024, only 0.5% of startups reach scale-up status due to over-reliance on traditional growth methods and paid media. The most successful companies are now adopting hybrid acquisition strategies, allocating 40% to organic growth initiatives, 30% to community building, and 30% to targeted paid media—a significant shift from the traditional 60-70% paid media focus.
