Luckily the writer of the article understands that there is more to it than attracting 'the best' workers:

This week alone, US companies have taken over two UK tech businesses, and Mr Kassai doesn't seem surprised.

"Shareholders, investors, board members are going to find the highest bidder and the US tends to pay more," he said.

"There's four times as much capital invested into startup companies than there is in the whole of Europe, so naturally when it comes through a sale, the US is often able to pay a higher price."
