Why EU1
Europe has the builders. It’s missing the arena.
- 01
They leave.
Too many of Europe’s best founders still move to San Francisco to build.
- 02
Berlin went quiet.
Two of its best-known accelerators have paused or closed since 2023.
- 03
The pitch wins.
Most programs end on a demo day, where the slides decide.
