Europe – we need your help. Please sign this petition to create a pan-european legal entity and promote it as much as you can: eu-inc.org We got RIGHT NOW a once in a generation chance to improve Europe for startups. 🔥 We got 6 weeks until the new comission sets…
Now put the US system besides that and you get the explanation for a large part of the difference in the outcomes of the local startup ecosystems. Wealth transfer vs. betting on the future.
German pension system in one chart: Average worker has to pay 18.6% of their gross wage into the system. After retirement they only get a fraction of this back. Please correct me if I made a mistake here - is the German pension system really this broken already today?
Sitting in a Café. The table next to me (to girls in their early 20s), has been discussing influencers for 45 minutes. Not singling them out, I’m sure this is normal. But still a sad state of affairs.
I recommend everyone against using LangChain and this article explains well It uses abstractions on top of abstractions and actually makes your code needlessly complicated Just write API calls and add a vector database instead octomind.dev/blog/why-we-no…
Super informative session - thanks @benjaminwolba!
Insights from two years of writing the @futureofcompute blog and scouting startups for @lunar_vc compressed into one talk – it was great to be part of @_firstmomentum's Industry Briefing yesterday 🤗 If you're curious about what's next after CPUs and GPUs, why heat is such a…
🚀 Exciting news at Cirplus! Welcome aboard, Carlos and Tommy! Thrilled to introduce new team members: @carlosandrioli as CTO 💻 and @Tommy_Atwell as COO 🚛. With Carlos's 20+ years in Fintech and Tommy's expertise in logistics, we're set to elevate Cirplus to new heights!
So excited for this - Daedalus is showing what is possible if you marry technology and industrial prowess (and what the potential in Europe really can be). Very happy to be a part of their journey with @_firstmomentum!
We are thrilled to announce that we have raised a $21M Series A from @ngpcapital, @khoslaventures and Addition to redefine manufacturing with AI. 🎉 Read more on the new funding, product, and growth plans in the TechCrunch article.
Why is the US good at building hardtech startups into businesses? Late stage equity funding, which EU lags behind on. Caveat: this is just the hydrogen sector, but I bet there's a similar discrepancy in other ones like EVs, batteries, industrial decarb, etc.
Why is Madrid the capital of Spain? Madrid is quite unique: • No river • Very recent • Tiny when it became a capital So why?
NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion. I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.
The German PISA results are nothing short of a disaster.
Europe as a whole is competitive in almost every metric. As many engineers, frontier talent, university research, consumer market size, etc But we end up acting as individual countries instead of working together. 🙈
One of my favourite slides from the new European Deep Tech Report.
Novel manufacturing is going to blow away people very soon youtube.com/watch?v=dCXu8J…
Agree with this take - at least for the short term. Question will be how big the write offs will be vs valuation upticks and how this will impact future VC fundraising (or more immediately the VCs behavior just from expected LP reactions).
I suspect fall '23 is going to be a huge improvement of VC & startup sentiment. Yes, there are going to be tons of down rounds and shut downs... But also there will be countless launches, round announcements, exits, and new funds. It's starting already.
Agreed - deep tech companies will look more like new industrials vs. “build and sell” SaaS. But a lot of founders (and investors) have not adjusted their mental models to adjust for new risk profiles. Recommend @scmallaby ’s book for how funding used to look like.
Seed investing isn't coming back... at least not as it existed in the last decade.
How is the standard process not “governor decides to cross out every ‘not’ in a bill and turns it into the complete opposite“ by now?
