“The paper published on Wednesday marks the biggest development in fusion technology since the Tokamaks breakthrough a decade ago”. 👏🏻 ⚛️ 

Proxima Fusion is ambitious science with massive potential. Europe needs more founders and companies taking big swings, and that’s exactly what Francesco Sciortino and crew are doing. Thrilled to be part of it via Wilbe.

Crazy stat: 72% of companies that were unicorns by the end of very frothy 2021 haven’t raised an up round since. 😳

A lot of LPs should be having some hard talks with their GPs.

“The EU is going overboard on tech regulation. It’s stifling innovation and it’s a massive risk for Europe…more companies will be forced to do the same [as Bird]”. Job van der Voort 

Ooof. 😬 Fwiw, I know of more European deeptech companies looking at moving their HQ out of Europe now than I can remember over the last twenty or so years. It’s such an issue that the EC and EIB have launched a study on the reasons why. It’s partly because of overregulation, and partly because of a lack of funding and customers amongst other things. Regardless, Europe needs to do a better job of listening to its entrepreneurs and remove friction points that are impeding their success.

"Almost the entire world got it wrong. The amount of computation we need at this point as a result of agentic AI and as a result of reasoning is easily 100 times more than we thought we needed this time last year." - Jensen Huang

The world needing 100 times more compute than what NVIDIA thought a year ago is a good thing for Nvidia.
