Andreas Klinger calls himself a technical founder turned investor turned lobbyist. He was CTO at Product Hunt, helped build AngelList and OnDeck, and now runs Prototype Capital, a solo GP fund backing ambitious founders.

Andreas is also the co-initiator of EU Inc, the proposal for a true pan-European legal entity that could finally allow startups to scale across Europe without the friction of 27 national company regimes.

In this episode we talk about:

Why European founders are still forced to play on hard mode
What EU Inc really means for startups and investors
How Europe can raise its ambition and build moonshots
Lessons from Europe’s Most Ambitious Startups

A conversation about fixing the system, raising ambition, and building sovereign European giants, while staying sane along the way.
