The European startup scene is changing fast. There are new players, old ones fading away, and even more to come in their place- all vying for a piece of this growing pie! In order not to get left behind we need regular updates on what’s going on so that our entrepreneurs can stay one step ahead when building or investing in companies here. That’s why I’m excited about starting up the “Pulse of the European Startup Ecosystem” which will provide quarterly podcasts chronicling different aspects related to startup activity across European Hubs, supported by the data from the specialized analytics company DEEP Ecosystem.
We will explore what’s happening in the world of startup employment. We’ll talk about established hubs, emerging trends, and leading indicators that may help predict future changes to funding or job conditions!
