“The characteristics we look for in founders have been the same for 50 years: the quality of the idea and the unique insight the founder has.”

Takeaways from Base Camp 2024: 🏕️

Legendary companies don’t grow linearly–they also make leaps along their journeys. Leaps are enabled by “crazy, brave leadership” from founders who embody authenticity, logic, and empathy.

Thank you to everyone who attended.

It has been alarming and heartbreaking to watch the recent events unfold in Israel. The terrorist attacks by Hamas on innocent civilians are reprehensible. We have been in touch with our founders, former partners, and companies with operations in the region to see how we can best support them. Our hearts go out to those affected during this horrific time.

“Even if you have spent 14 years building something, it could truly be gone in 14 days."

Our message to founders today? Focus on the fundamentals.

@roelofbotha spoke with @emilychangtv about thinking long-term, building in a challenging market, our enthusiasm about the European startup ecosystems, AI investments, and more.

[Ruth Barnett @RuthBarnett]

"The scale of ambition in Europe is completely different from what I saw 15 years ago. Founders who dare to dream big and they want to build global businesses. We're incredibly enthusiastic about what we see on the ground." @roelofbotha with @emilychangtv. https://t.co/YQXTVMwif5
