โThese questions are surely on my all-time top 5 founder FAQ: Is my cap table fundable? Is it broken?
Here is the easiest overview (๐ @ChrisHarveyEsq) and the best data (๐ @PeterJ_Walker) I have found for these questions.

The https://t.co/CbztARKQWv โAccelerating Europe"๐ shows that ๐ช๐บ produces unicorns at the same rate as the ๐บ๐ธ per $/โฌ raised. @AllianceVC analysis shows that the Nordics outperform both US and Europe on the same scale ๐ช
I very much align with the report on the potential of Europe. The last year has been full of wake-up calls (โฐ) and kicks in the ass (๐ฆต). The potential is there. Now it's all about: 1๏ธโฃ ambition 2๏ธโฃ action 3๏ธโฃ boldness 4๏ธโฃ optimism 5๏ธโฃ risk tolerance.
Winning ๐ as a continent requires growth/productivity and competitiveness. The tools ๐ ๏ธ are talent, capital, market integration and deregulation. We can be masters of our own destiny. Failure is not an option and would be our own. Letโs go! ๐๐

๐๐ช๐บ๐ช Encouraging. The European startup ecosystem appears to be outperforming the European economy at large, as the European share of listed company market cap is falling. Private companies and capital is becoming a more important segment of the European economy.
๐ Breaking the 'Europe is behind' narrative:
European startups are quietly writing a different story. Each new generation taking a bigger slice. Young EU startups now = 18% of new global tech value. Today's Big Tech companies were uncontested in 90s and 00s.

AI + ๐ณ๐ด = ๐? (ref. earlier AI + VC = โค๏ธ posts)
As a superfan of @kjetil1 โs "On Norwegian Tech" (๐) I eagerly await the annual review, published last week ๐ The 2024 review is solid as always w/most of the numbers as expected in โthe VC trenchesโ ๐. The โhorizontal segment chartโ is still somewhat surprising ๐ณ as AI/ML investment accounted for ~14% of all ๐ณ๐ดdeals. Even with some labeling overlap w/HW and SaaS this is low relative to other markets. AI share of deal count elsewhere:
ยท ๐ช๐บ: 23% (State of European Tech)
ยท ๐บ๐ธ: 25% (Pitchbook)
ยท YC: 75% (Summer โ24 batch)
AI is significantly more overrepresented in invested amounts elsewhere.
I am an โAI bullโ for multiple reasons: 1) AIโs potential to drive much needed societal productivity gains, 2) AIโs potential to solve fundamental problems and 3) the massive value potential and rapid change, make AI a great opportunity space for founders, startups and investors. It is natural to ask: What is going on in ๐ณ๐ด? Are we just off/slower than others?
The bad news โ macro/top-down: I fear Norway is becoming a societal AI laggard driven by risk aversion and lack of curiosity/ambition. Too harsh? Maybeโฆ My perspective is formed by the focus and quality of AI discussions in public, where the main topic has been the risk of students cheating using AI, rather than the opportunity presented by AI and how to reap benefits and stay competitive. Societal focus and ambitions create trickle-down effects on capital allocation, either directly thru investment objectives/strategies (e.g. government investment) or indirectly due to interest, awareness and effort. Itโs time to step it up on AI ๐We can do it ๐
The good news โ micro/bottom-up: For founders and VCs it is all about micro, identifying great opportunities and investment time+capital to build/scale products and organizations to serve customers. While the Norwegian AI founder and investor community is limited, the commitment+skillset+ambition combo of the โhard coreโ is awesome ๐ชItโs a game of winners anyway, not volume. Iโm stoked to work with some top founders and startups in this space and look forward to more. Itโs great to see that the biggest โtrue VC roundโ in Kjetilโs 2024 review was in @1x_tech, a truly exceptional company and global leader in physical AI (and @AllianceVC investment). The snowball is rolling and will only get bigger. Kudos to all the AI founders giving their all and newcomers like @aimadlab, gunning to build a vibrant community of builders bottom-up ๐

Venture Capital + AI = โค๏ธ (part 2)
AI is now pretty much the only game in VC/SW
If you needed proof that every software company is an AI company, hereโs the evidence. 46% of all US venture financings in dollar terms in 2024 were AI.
This revolution breeds in every corner of the startup ecosystem.
37% of Seeds, 35% of Series As, 67% of Series Bs, 24% of Series Cs, & 47% of Series Ds were AI companies. Within a year, half of software companies are AI companies.
By next year, if this trajectory holds, weโll struggle to find software that doesnโt think, learn, and evolve.
What isnโt captured in this data is that the way companies are built is also changing. AI is in the product but AI is also writing software, crafting marketing company, & drafting design documents.
AI is more than a market trend - weโre watching the software industry undergo a cognitive reimagining of how we build software, they way we work & what is possible with software.

I am a big fan of โThe State of European Techโ. The โ24 edition launched at @SlushHQ. Here is some favorite content with a positive spin. We certainly have challenges in ๐ช๐บ, but there are also positives ๐We need to double down and work hard to improve and maximize what we have ๐๐ซถ (Yes, I know that there are massive issues to address on regulation and access to capital).

The @IMFNews hits ๐ฏ in a recent report on ๐ช๐บ Key findings:
1๏ธโฃ ๐ช๐บ is a productivity and growth laggard
2๏ธโฃ limited capacity to grow innovative companies is a reason for the drag
3๏ธโฃ the structure of the European financial system contributes to this problem
4๏ธโฃ without a dynamic VC ecosystem, Europe cannot harvest its potential
My take: VC is not only a good asset class, it is a critical and great tool for societal value creation โก๏ธ Important to tell the story + continue investing ๐๐

I am a huge believer in standardization for venture investing, as it has massive advantages:
1๏ธ. Reduction of time, cost and friction for each transaction
2. Leveling the playing field for founders and investors + new and old shareholders
3. Drives market maturity and liquidity
4. Drives best practices and stamps out bad behavior
๐ช๐บ and the Nordics are trending in the same positive direction, yet have a way to go + too much fragmentation between countries.
Kudos to @startuptools and @startuplabno for driving standardization in the Nordics and Norway

While ๐ช๐บ has lots of positives (see earlier posts) and the ๐บ๐ธ has a thousand underlying issues, this ๐ is a real problem and reflects the difference in underlying GDP development. People will argue the reasons. It is unquestionable that the trust in the markets and the understanding of driving progress from productivity, rather than favoring regulation, is a huge difference. Europe needs to change and step up, or be left behind and irrelevant as a museum from a good 500-year-ride ๐ค
