It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy… I got something to announce: We're launching PROTOTYPE: a new fund, fully focused on Europe. A small fund that punches way above it's size. With it we back what Europe is world-class at: robotics, automation, manufacturing, and anything that requires hard engineering. First check. First round. As early as it gets. Europe invented industry. We're the birthplace of precision manufacturing. The second largest manufacturing hub on the planet. Leaders in automation and robotics. And yet… We sell out our best tech to China. We export our best founders & most of our investment money to the US. That's insanity. What should we do instead? Build the next trillion euro companies in robotics, manufacturing, automation right here: in Europe. Showcase to young founders what is possible and change the system around them where needed. What we will do: → Publish all our fund updates and build in public: updates.prototypecap.com → Showcase Europe’s Most Ambitious Startups on Youtube: @prototypecap" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@prototypecap → Launch & support more projects like @euinc_petition. Enough talking about Europe. Time to build it: Startups, makerspaces, student clubs, and much more. → And most importantly, invest into the best founders in Europe. Same model as our previous funds that are in their top 1-5% cohorts worldwide. We won’t do a VC fund in the classic sense. This will be a community of hyper-ambitious people who want to actively change Europe for the better. It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy. Check out prototypecap.com!

Steve miller as vulture bird is a strong casting choice

@j_subgang @DesireeCachette how double dare you

@andreasklinger @DesireeCachette Soon he'll be an honorary member of the EU parliament and then it's so over

I just told a founder that i wont joined his 3-digit-million valuation pre-seed but i am super happy for him and got a reply from his bot thanking me for the specific work i did for him. I think this summarizes perfectly the wtf that my job is right now.

Europe Backs ‘EU Inc’ — But will it go all the way? The European Commission has thrown its weight behind the idea of a cross-EU company structure, dubbed “EU Inc”, aimed at making it easier to build and scale startups across the bloc. But while the political signal is clear, the execution so far falls short of what founders and investors had hoped for. @Pathfounder’s Mike Butcher caught up with @andreasklinger, founder of Protoype Capital, an @euinc_petition co-organiser, to discuss the latest developments.

European employment rates tied their record highs in data released this month, with EU prime-age employment rising to 82.8% & Eurozone employment rising to 82.2% Age 25-54 Employment % by Country: 🇲🇹 Malta — 89.9 🇸🇮 Slovenia — 89.4 🇵🇹 Portugal — 88.0 🇭🇺 Hungary — 87.7 🇨🇿 Czechia — 87.7 🇵🇱 Poland — 87.4 🇳🇱 Netherlands — 86.7 🇨🇾 Cyprus — 86.5 🇱🇹 Lithuania — 86.4 🇸🇪 Sweden — 85.6 🇸🇰 Slovakia — 85.6 🇭🇷 Croatia — 85.6 🇦🇹 Austria — 85.3 🇩🇪 Germany — 85.1 🇪🇪 Estonia — 85.1 🇱🇺 Luxembourg — 84.6 🇮🇪 Ireland — 84.5 🇧🇬 Bulgaria — 84.3 🇫🇷 France — 83.2 🇱🇻 Latvia — 83.1 🇩🇰 Denmark — 82.3 🇧🇪 Belgium — 81.3 🇪🇸 Spain — 80.1 🇫🇮 Finland — 80.0 🇬🇷 Greece — 79.3 🇷🇴 Romania — 77.3 🇮🇹 Italy — 74.7

Britain, Germany, Belgium, France and Sweden are in a race for which becomes the first Islamic country in Europe. They just keep importing more and more fake refugees every chance they get. Who is paying for this intentional elimination of the indigenous people and culture?

@RealityPolice1 @ConnorAllenEU @WallStreetMav this platform is so dead

@andreasklinger @ConnorAllenEU @WallStreetMav Also the intent is exactly what you’re aiming your critique at. Thankfully Europe is lucky to have such competent people that are not fallen prey to this propaganda in the same way we’ve seen Silicon Valley fallen completely off the cliff and into insanity.

@ConnorAllenEU @WallStreetMav no that's just pushing propaganda if you have issues focus on facts and solution not vibes sidenote: good propaganda always uses things that have a "kernel of truth"

You're focusing on the specific wording rather than the intent, which is why you come up short. Vibe correct factual incorrect does work, for that precise reason. If we are in a bar and you say 'Connor, you are so annoying, I could strangle you!' then vibe correct/factual incorrect is the only thing keeping you out of prison.

@ConnorAllenEU @WallStreetMav it's one thing to say immigration needs to be fixed it's another thing to say whatever engagement bait OP did here "vibe correct, factual incorrect" doesnt work

Equally, if you handwave away the realities of mass migration and the pressure it has put on people, then you are spreading nothing but propaganda. I dont entirely agree with what OP wrote but his broader point on mass migration is a lot closer to reality than someone who grew up in a pleasant alpine paradise dismissing everything. Yes, yes, I'm sure that you're living the true lived experience that people in Berlin and Germany feel in 'the coolest neighbourhood in Europe's.

@ConnorAllenEU @WallStreetMav sorry but the post above is nothing but propaganda it merges religion and ethnicities, fears and facts if you live in this reality i am sorry for you greetings from neukoelln berlin which according to twitter is a living hellhole btw

Sorry, which part of Britain, Germany, Belgium, France, or Sweden, are you from, Andreas? I'm sure you have lived a very pleasant life between the idyllic mountains of Austria, startup scenes in US and Berlin, and the sunny beaches of Portugal. It's in fact totally understandable that you don't know the realities of mass scale migration and demographic change in the grittier parts of Europe that you haven't experienced. But you don't get to dismiss the concerns of those of us who have as 'propaganda' from your Alpine retreat.

@eurofounder @Microinteracti1 this is really your fulltime job isnt it?

@Microinteracti1 @andreasklinger Did America also invade Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, or Tunisia? Wow, I had no idea

Britain is 6% Muslim. Germany 5%. France 10%. Sweden 9%. Belgium 7%. At this rate of Islamic conquest, Europe will be majority Muslim sometime around the year 2847. I’d pencil in some mild concern for around 2600 and see how things look then. Now. The refugees. Since someone asked who’s paying for all this. Let’s follow the money back a bit further. America invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years there achieving absolutely nothing, then left in such breathtaking chaos that people were literally hanging off aircraft. It then invaded Iraq over weapons that turned out not to exist, killed somewhere between 150,000 and a million people, and converted a functioning country into a sectarian hellscape. This is before we even get to the drones over Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. The people washing up on European shores are, in very large part, the direct human wreckage of American foreign policy. America created the disaster. Europe is housing the survivors. And America is on the internet asking why Europe keeps letting people in. Remarkable cheek, really. As for eliminating indigenous culture: the United States actually eliminated its indigenous people. Deliberately. With rifles and government paperwork. Europe took in Syrian doctors. These are not comparable situations, and pretending they are requires a truly heroic indifference to history. The culture is fine. France still has the cheese. The Louvre is still there. Bach is still there. Nothing has been eliminated except, apparently, the ability to read a percentage.

@eurofounder dont waste your life spreading frustration mate

@andreasklinger His loss. I only hope he doesn’t take American propaganda money now

Come and build some real world Factorio with us! 🚀

@andreasklinger to be fair issa seed ^^

@DesireeCachette take that back

@andreasklinger Sir, I’m pretty sure at this point you are a diplomat more than VC (compliment)

The only place you have to be at if you build at the cutting edge of AI: Applied AI Conf on the 28th of May in Berlin 400 of the best engineers in AI and speakers who are building products like Legora, Intercom, or Sword Health.

@DavorMeersman as pre-seed investor that's the propaganda i am trying to promote as well ;)

@andreasklinger Not sure he'll be attracting the smart money with those practices. imho the pre-seed is for putting the foundations in place, champion/advising investors included. Difficult to say of course, he might have all of it in place.

@SteffenKrogmann thats the mindset

@andreasklinger Was the bot correct about the specific work?

@Viraj__Acharya lol

@andreasklinger was the reply quick at least ?
