Two rankings, three of our companies!
RockFi (#6), @Orus_agent (#16), and @QevlarAI (#18) made @LinkedIn's Top Startups list for France
And Qevlar AI also landed in the @Siftedeu AI 100
Our own @Boris_Golden sat down with Serial VC to share what 11 years of seed investing have taught him: why his top 5 "no"s beat his top 5 investments, why fast growth proves less and less in the AI era, and why the team is the one constant at seed.
Here's to 100 women shaping European tech! 🥂
We supported the second edition of 100 Women in Tech in Europe, launched by @siftedeu, @joinstationf, and @sistafund at Sifted Summit.
Among the 100 is Hélène Huby, CEO of @ExplorationTEC, who made the list in the same stretch as closing a $450M Series C.
Congratulations to all 100 women on the list 👏

Paris or London: who is Europe's AI capital? 🤖
Paris overtook London in the first AI Cities Index, ranking fifth in the world, just 0.2 points ahead.
@TFNBreakingNews asked founders from @prolific, @qevlarAI, and Yampa for their take.
Their verdict: Europe needs both cities to thrive.
Thanks TFN for the feature! 👏
