What We Do.
We build media and distribution projects inside the European venture ecosystem and share deal flow with VCs across the continent.
The Venturist is our pilot project for the European ecosystem. In-depth analyses, long-form interviews, and weekly briefings for people who allocate capital or build companies in Europe. We break down founders' strategies, explain what makes specific companies defensible, and publish guides on topics you won't find covered properly anywhere else.
We write for the people we want to work with.
Europe-first.
European tech companies raised €72 billion in 2025. Mistral hit €12 billion. Lovable went from zero to unicorn in eight months out of Stockholm. Defense tech went from 1% of European VC to over 6%. Defence, sovereign AI, deep tech, and infrastructure are all scaling here at a pace that didn't exist five years ago, and simultaneously the media coverage serving this ecosystem is thinner than it should be.
TechCrunch pulled out of Europe. Legacy outlets are shrinking. At the same time, governments across the continent are committing money and attention to sovereignty and industrial independence for the first time in a generation.
This is the most urgent possible moment to pay attention to and encourage what's being built here and not look away from it.
Our Belief in Media.
For the VC's first few decades, money was the ultimate power because VCs controlled access to it. That world is gone. There are hundreds of seed funds across Europe with overlapping theses and overlapping check sizes. The funds that will matter in the next decade need something besides capital to win deals. One of the best-performing funds in Europe right now was born out of a podcast and manages over €650M in assets with fewer than twenty people. A16Z is investing in media distribution like never before.
The political and economic trajectory is not subtle. European governments are spending to reduce structural dependency on American infrastructure. The question stopped being whether Europe produces venture-scale companies some time ago. The question is who has the reach and the relationships to find them before anyone else does.
We think that's a distribution problem. And we think media solves it.
