My morning before I look at a single pitch deck:
β 45 min ceremonial matcha preparation
β 20 min LinkedIn thought leadership
β 15 min checking if portfolio companies updated their GDPR policies
β Review my Capri chairlift schedule
Then I pass on everything.
Had a call with a founder today. 40% margins, 200% YoY growth. I asked about the AI strategy. She said they don't need one. I had to end the call early, I felt physically ill.
A founder pitched me a product with 12,000 paying users and 94% retention. I asked where the moat was. He said the product. I told him a moat is a ChatGPt wrapper or at minimum a waitlist. He had neither. I wished him well and went back to my matcha.
AI is the most important technology of our time.
Europe wants to become the first AI Continent.
For advanced healthcare, for the transport sector and so much more.
European AI Gigafactories will provide the necessary computing power to make this possible.
Together with our Member States, we are funding their construction with up to β¬10 billion, which are set to unlock at least β¬20 billion in private investements across the EU.
Together, we are building our technological sovereignty.
