A bit about us at the Web3 and Fintech Foundation

[FinTech Faridi @braindrainomar]

The end of the cold war promised a more peaceful age of international relations, as most nations professed to follow agreed rules in a positive-sum game designed to benefit all. Today, that vision is under threat as governments increasingly turn to tariffs, sanctions, and export controls to advance national security goals. Around the world, the line between economic and national security policy is blurring. A new era of geoeconomics is taking hold. https://t.co/sExzRi72Lt

Can Chris Brown compare with Michael Jackson in any real way as an entertainer or dancer?

No, Chris Brown cannot meaningfully compare to Michael Jackson as an entertainer or dancer overall. Brown is an exceptionally talented modern performer with impressive athleticism and versatility, but Michael Jackson operates on a different level in innovation, cultural impact, precision, and global legacy.

Comparisons often arise from fan debates or generational gaps, but objective metrics and historical context separate them sharply.

➡️ Most unicorns were born in 🇪🇪 Estonia (23%) and 🇵🇱 Poland (20%)
➡️ Wise, founded by Estonian founders, is the largest company originating from CEE, followed by the Polish e-commerce giant Allegro and the Czech antivirus maker Avast
➡️ Ride-sharing platform Bolt is the highest-valued privately owned unicorn, followed by JetBrains, ElevenLabs, and Vinted
➡️ AI voice startup ElevenLabs is definitely the 🔥 hottest company in the ranking

This ranking includes both exited and still private companies.

Most valuations are last reported or recently rumoured. On ZIRP-era valuations: we exclude companies that latest reported valuation would be most likely enough to hit the list, but it is expected that the company is now valued significantly lower.
