Great write-up about the untapped potential of European tech. Could not agree more.
Three years ago (in my first post on Substack too) I wrote the following:
"For all its follies and Eurocratic inertia, Europe is also progressively becoming a land of ever-increasing opportunities. Some might only see a slow-running and heavily-lobbied gerontocracy based out of Brussels (and Berlin) heading a swath of low-growth, tech-deprived economies. And, sure, there might be some truth to this caricature; but that would only be one small part of a much greater, richer picture.
Europe is experiencing a quiet, but incontestable tech renaissance. European startups are killing it and established players have proven themselves at a global level. This has led to major exits, the creation of close to 100 unicorns, unprecedented investing appetite (led by US VCs who are now building entire offices in Europe, after operating mostly on stealth-mode until now) and the infusion of a newly-found risk-taking tolerance cultivated by hungry startup mafias and successful serial entrepreneurs."
