A few weeks before "The EU Inc Petition" was announced, I visited Nathaniel and Jan-Martin from the IMF in Brussels to discuss in a podcast for IMD "The untapped potential of VC in the EU" https://bit.ly/3NSNhh6. One key takeaway (amongst others to discover in this episode) is that reforms that simplify cross-border investment, encourage capital market investment and help startups expand throughout the EU are ESSENTIAL. Deeper economic & financial integration is crucial to unlocking the full potential of the European VC ecosystem!..... Maybe my podcast leaked before the publication and that led to the "The EU Inc Petition"! Haha We actually discuss in details: _Europe’s “scale-up gap” and the “brain drain” effect, _the interplay between risk aversion, pension schemes, and financial literacy, _the role of public institutions in fostering innovation

Get asked a lot on advice for starting a crypto fund. Our approach with Scalar that ended up working well - ideal to be a small fund so easier to return multiples. Only a few funds can get away with large AUM & we couldn't compete with them. Small funds enable you to work with everyone - didn’t spend time around building the fund's brand (only did media circuit when we were fundraising). Focused on building a good relationship with founders & got access to deals through word of mouth - prioritized responding quickly to portfolio companies when they needed help. Couldn't always help but most important was to not do harm to them. Always caveated advice given & didn't need to have an opinion on everything - treated founder's time as valuable in a pitch meeting. Came prepared to every fundraising meeting as mentality was we were lucky to be meeting with them - stayed lean as a team, majority of it we operated as 3 people (2 research, 1 ops/finance) Every person/fund is different, just sharing our experience
