Europe is funding new AI labs. No equity. Up to €125M. Munich is the first room. On March 4 the Next Frontier AI roadshow starts in Munich. The idea is simple: gather people who actually want to build new foundations for AI and put them together early enough that real teams form, not just slide decks. They are looking for researchers and builders working on things like world models, agentic systems, SSM-style architectures, neuro-symbolic approaches, or entirely new training setups. Not product wrappers. Core advances. In July a €125M program begins. Up to 10 teams get 24 months to build a lab with full technical freedom and company-building support. The strongest teams are meant to grow into billion-scale companies. I’ll be there filming and talking to people. 👋 If you’re serious about working on frontier AI in Europe, come by and say hi. Thanks for having me, Alessandro Audretsch and thanks to Philip Vollet for bringing us together!

Nothing in the world matters more than the people you keep around you. This week I looked to my left and right and realized I was standing next to 6 @joinScalepath members, many of whom I’ve known for years — everyone building businesses quietly, steadily, through all the ups and downs. Shoutout to @HoldCoConf for being our unofficial gathering place! Whoever you are, go out there and find people you have a lot in common with. Talk with them, build relationships, travel to see them. Life is so much better surrounded by people you respect, trust, and want to grow alongside.

I’m super pumped up for Holdco Conf next week. Who else is going to be there?

Another fun @MainStSummit highlight. On Thursday morning, I texted almost everyone I knew at the conference to come get BBQ at a spot down the street from the last MainStage event in the evening. I don’t know how many people showed up, somewhere between 30 and 50. I bet another 10-20 would have shown up if flights weren’t getting delayed/canceled left and right. It was still pretty fun just texting a TON of people a place to gather, and they all come. I even introduced a couple guys where one will buy the others construction company. Sweet

Okay, I just finished the weirdest marketing experiment of my career Here’s the results… Concept: Design and print collectible cards for the speakers at Main Street Summit. Portray real entrepreneurs as superheroes, put them in popular movie scenes, etc that relate to their businesses. (See the cards below) Goal: Hand thousands of these cards out at Main Street Summit. Do cool stuff, stand out, build relationships, see what serendipity comes my way. Numbers: - 121 unique designs for entrepreneurs - 250 decks printed - 12,500 total cards printed Results: Okay this part is cool. We managed to personally hand these cards out to 65 of the 121 people we personally designed cards for. Including: - Carl Edwards, pro NASCAR driver - Sahil Bloom, Author 5 types of Wealth - Brent Beshore, Founder of Permanent Equity And a whole lot more amazing people, including 10 more main event headliners. Almost every single time I showed someone their card, it brought a smile to their face. A few other unexpected things: 1. People wanted these cards as gifts to their children If anyone doesn’t know, it’s very common for mothers and fathers to bring gifts to their kids back after a big work trip. Even just tonight, guy texted me a photo of his 3 children exchanging their favorite cards with each other. “Made my kids day.” 2. Shareability People were showing off cards to each other. Swapping cards, when an attendee would meet with a speaker they’d show them their card as a fun greeting. So cool. 3. It evolved Day 1 it was a brand new concept that people thought was fun and creative Day 2 at least 50% of the people I handed their cards too had seen decks floating around and was familiar with the concept. Then loved that I gave them their card personally. 4. Newsletter subscribers / customers On the back of every card was a QR code to my newsletter, so far we have gotten 5 subscribers… big L here but not worried about it, when you do stuff like this you figure out what works and what doesn’t. 1 new customer, 2 calls booked with $10M+ revenue businesses which is great. I’ll be doing a bunch of follow up next week offering to mail people decks so there’s a longer tail here. 5. “Energy attracts energy” This is the most important part. The same kind of person who sees these cards and loves them is the same kind of person who resonates with the stuff I do. These cards basically acted as a magnet to find other creative ambitious fun people. Next steps: I expect something like this has a very long tail impact. It’s unique and unforgettable. Should bring interesting serendipity/luck into my life. If anyone has ideas on where to go with this, let me know!

Business update! Over the last few years I’ve been building a community of small business leaders called Scalepath. As of this week, @randbusiness will join as CEO (and acquire a majority of the company!). Rand Larsen is the perfect guy for this seat. He’s been driving all over the country for the last 3 years, building a peer group of his own through blood, sweat, and tears. Now he’s bringing the energy, focus, and time needed to level up this community. We’ve got some great stuff coming down the pike: - 35+ new faces, as Rand brings in his existing community members - Launching new peer groups (including some tailored to holdco owners!) - Doubling down on in-person events and retreats I’m super proud of what we’ve built, and I truly believe that joining a CEO community is one of the best career moves a leader can make. Welcome, Rand! Happy to answer any questions you have.
