750M people across 50 countries, 200+ languages, 10.18M sq km. A rich tapestry of cultures, from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean.
Earlier this week, The Exploration Company announced its $160m Series B.
Here's an excerpt from the announcement:
"Only two companies currently provide cargo delivery to and from the International Space Station, and both are based in the United States. The Exploration Company, which operates out of Germany, France, and Italy, is looking to change that: It just closed a large funding round to further its mission of building Europe’s first reusable space capsule. "

"This isn't about mimicking Silicon Valley. It’s about amplifying our unique European strengths: our diversity, our decentralized talent pool, and our unique startup hubs."
This is precisely it. For a long time. It's time to finally change this.

About a decade ago I was a board member of StartupDorf, an association of startups in Düsseldorf. Some of the most important challenges the startups had was a lack of access to funding, an overly complicated regulatory landscape due to not having a true single market in the EU, and the "death penalty" on "failure".
The other day I was listening to an interview with a digital business expert and founder from another EU country.
10 years have passed, nothing has really changed.
How would you overcome these challenges?

Some of the most impactful crypto projects and companies have come out of Europe. As a region, Europe has punched above its weight, especially when considering its relative importance in other areas of technology. I wrote some thoughts on why that's been the case

“With more open-source developers than America has, Europe is particularly well placed to make the most of this open-source ai wave. Yet its fragmented regulatory structure, riddled with inconsistent implementation, is hampering innovation and holding back developers.”
