Proud to support this petition for a unified pan-European startup entity. Let’s unite Europe's startup ecosystems! https://t.co/fSTJYGZYyO 🇪🇺 https://t.co/sGOoACn5D2

[Andreas Klinger 🦾 @andreasklinger]

Europe – we need your help.

Please sign this petition to create a pan-european legal entity and promote it as much as you can: https://t.co/4tUsJd3ay2

We got RIGHT NOW a once in a generation chance to improve Europe for startups. 🔥

We got 6 weeks until the new comission sets their work agenda for the years to come. Uniting the European startup ecosystems needs to be part of this agenda!

The solution is known, it's just one out of hundreds for politicians. It's our job as industry to show how important it is.

First co-signatories are people like @patrickc, @nzennstrom, @martinmignot, @MattClifford, @Taavet, Eléonore Crespo, @jobvo, @roxannevarza and many many more coming in the next weeks. Hopefully including you! ✌️

How you can help:
- Sign this
- Get your friends, your team, your investors, your portfolio to sign
- Share this in your whatsapp, slack and discord groups
- Get this in front of press, newsletters, and influencers

For Europe, for the next generations to come: Let's make Europe the best place for innovators.

Uniting as one ecosystem is the first step - a pan-european ecosystem is the key here. Let's go!

[Patrick Collison @patrickc]

Mario Draghi's new report on EU competitiveness doesn't mince words.

"Across different metrics, a wide gap in GDP has opened up between the EU and the US, driven mainly by a more pronounced slowdown in productivity growth in Europe. Europe’s households have paid the price in foregone living standards. On a per capita basis, real disposable income has grown almost twice as much in the US as in the EU since 2000."

"First – and most importantly – Europe must profoundly refocus its collective efforts on closing the innovation gap with the US and China, especially in advanced technologies. Europe is stuck in a static industrial structure with few new companies rising up to disrupt existing industries or develop new growth engines. In fact, there is no EU company with a market capitalisation over EUR 100 billion that has been set up from scratch in the last fifty years, while all six US companies with a valuation above EUR 1 trillion have been created in this period. This lack of dynamism is self-fulfilling."

"There are not enough academic institutions achieving top levels of excellence and the pipeline from innovation into commercialisation is weak. [...] However, while the EU boasts a strong university system on average, not enough universities and research institutions are at the top. Using volume of publications in top academic science journals as an indicative metric, the EU has only three research institutions ranked among the top 50 globally, whereas the US has 21 and China 15."

"Regulatory barriers to scaling up are particularly onerous in the tech sector, especially for young companies. Regulatory barriers constrain growth in several ways. First, complex and costly procedures across fragmented national systems discourage inventors from filing Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), hindering young companies from leveraging the Single Market. Second, the EU’s regulatory stance towards tech companies hampers innovation: the EU now has around 100 tech-focused laws and over 270 regulators active in digital networks across all Member States. Many EU laws take a precautionary approach, dictating specific business practices ex ante to avert potential risks ex post. For example, the AI Act imposes additional regulatory requirements on general purpose AI models that exceed a pre-defined threshold of computational power – a threshold which some state-of-the-art models already exceed. Third, digital companies are deterred from doing business across the EU via subsidiaries, as they face heterogeneous requirements, a proliferation of regulatory agencies and “gold plating” of EU legislation by national authorities. Fourth, limitations on data storing and processing create high compliance costs and hinder the creation of large, integrated data sets for training AI models. This fragmentation puts EU companies at a disadvantage relative to the US, which relies on the private sector to build vast data sets, and China, which can leverage its central institutions for data aggregation. This problem is compounded by EU competition enforcement possibly inhibiting intra-industry cooperation. Finally, multiple different national rules in public procurement generate high ongoing costs for cloud providers. The net effect of this burden of regulation is that only larger companies – which are often non-EU based – have the financial capacity and incentive to bear the costs of complying. Young innovative tech companies may choose not to operate in the EU at all."

A rock band is performing and the singer sees a kid with a banner asking to play guitar with them. The singer asks him:

- Do you really know how to play guitar?
- Yeah!
- What's your favorite band?
- Guns N' Roses

What happens next is incredible.

@eldsjal I thought perhaps combining public equity markets might help though I'm not an economic expert, just seems strange most EU companies go to States when going public. Also incentives for national (retirement) funds and people to invest into it instead of just saving.

Daniel was gracious enough to spend an entire afternoon with me the first time we met.

May he forever rest in peace.

@slovenianGooner I would love him as well, though still think he needs more time to grow and Leipzig/Bundesliga is a good place for that.

A great man, a great mind, rest in peace Charlie Munger.

[Farnam Street @farnamstreet]

A life well lived.

“I paid no attention to the territorial boundaries of academic disciplines and I just grabbed all the big ideas that I could.”

“If you skillfully follow the multidisciplinary path, you will never wish to come back. It would be like cutting off your hands.”

“Take a simple idea, and take it seriously.”

“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”

“Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. Nevertheless, you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.”

“I try to get rid of people who always confidently answer questions about which they don’t have any real knowledge.”

@rodpetrovic 2/ Kje v Evropi / EU pa misliš, da je trenutno najboljše okolje za razvoj mednarodnih podjetij / prebojnih produktov?

[Peter Vreča @petervreca]

@rodpetrovic 1/ Se strinjam s vtisi o Nemčiji, Berlinu in razvoja softwara tam. V Berlinu se marsikaj dogaja glede startupov in podjetništva, vendar se mi zdi vse premalo konkretno. Usmerjeno samo na nemški trg ali vezano na ameriške multinacionalke.

@slovenianGooner Sounds good, you worked in C# before? I'm thinking of picking up another language next to PHP as well though Golang seems more interesting to me from what I tried.
