Welcome back to another episode of the EUVC Podcast, your trusted inside track on the people, deals, and dynamics shaping European venture.
This week,
Dan Bowyer and
Mads Jensen of
SuperSeed and
Lomax from
Outsized Ventures, gather to unpack the macro forces and micro signals shaping European tech and venture.
They dive into the EU’s latest corporate structure reforms, the battle with resistant notaries, and the implications for startup formation and cross-border investing. Then it’s onto LLM innovation in China, valuation exuberance in AI, and the strategic shifts in capital allocation. The group finishes by zooming out on macro policy, sovereignty debates, and a cautious optimism for European tech.
Whether you’re an investor, founder, or policymaker trying to navigate Europe’s choppy regulatory waters — this one’s for you.
