Europe is so cooked. Even if a startup had an innovative product and a viable go-to-market strategy, the capital wouldn’t be there to support them. The EU has zero VC funds with $5B+ capital pools, compared to more than 50 in the US. Fewer than 25 with $1-5B, compared to more than 250 in America. The money simply isn’t there. And AI is only going to exacerbate the dynamic. The dominant AI startups are virtually all American, backed by a combination of US venture capital, US strategic investors, and middle eastern sovereign wealth. As these startups work toward (eventual) liquidity events, the power law of VC returns will become even further tilted toward US firms managing huge asset pools (hence why a16z, Sequoia, Thrive, and Founders Fund are all now RIAs). Massive US funds will return massive amounts of capital to LPs, making it even easier to raise their next—and even larger—fund, which will invest in the next round of innovative American startups. The synergistic flywheel of American capital and innovation will spin even faster, all while Paris, Berlin, and Brussels get even further left behind. It would be tragic. If they hadn’t done it to themselves.

This actually seems obvious and profound

BREAKING: Disgracred Astronomy CEO Andy Byron announced he recently acquired an HVAC company from a retiring baby boomer. According to Byron, “Small businesses are a cheat code for wealth generation. When I saw the fax machines in their office, the only words I could think were, ‘I will fix you.’ I’m looking forward to embracing this new direction in my career with unadulterated enthusiasm.” Byron reportedly purchased the business for 14x EBITDA, with a plan to sell it to private equity for 28x after upgrading the website and tripling prices.
