Will Wells’ Post

Just ICYM today's Gruenderszene piece 🇩🇪 🌭 "Die besten Gründer sind Mitglied einer Startup-Mafia, meint der neue Partner von Speedinvest" 🖤❤️💛 - here I am talking in German 😉 about European resurgence, infrastructure choke holds and the need for deep tech sovereignty 🚀 Featuring an orchestral name dropping combo of the usual frontier tech suspects: Black Forest Labs, Wayve, Mistral AI, Helsing, Revolut, Spotify, ElevenLabs, CuspAI, Northvolt, Lilium, Proxima Fusion, The Exploration Company, Isar Aerospace, SpaceX, Sana, ETH Zürich, Klarna, Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM)

Interesting addition: All Trillion-Dollar founders but Elon Musk are first-time founders: Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang. The very, very best founders who create companies so iconic they become the biggest in the world are typically starting only one company. They don't have to be former startup employees, though: Steve Jobs was at Artari, that's true, but Jeff Bezos led a Hedge Fund, and Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates started out of uni.
