Geographical #Speedinvest: per Q1 2019 we invested in 131 companies across 26 countries. We strongly believe that good founders can come from everywhere. Fun fact: our portfolio is two or maybe one (...or maybe not) country less than the EU.

EU vs US in tech VC: this is how EU can close the gap to the US: we have a competitive edge in innovation and engineering. We just have to close the funding gap. Speedinvest thanks @Atomico (Luca Eisenstecken, Tom Wehmeier), Stack Overflow , Austria at the OECD, Dealroom.co for the data

with LPs looking for GPs with new VC models / strategies etc will they also rethink the traditional "min 20m USD / max 10% of the fund" - rule?

Taking money off the table (ie not selling ones whole stake) is probably the most important skill of an early stage investor. You don’t get many chances to optimise your cash returns of your big winners but knowing when & how to sell is smart portfolio management.

It seems like the VC "crowd" is often very good at signalling what become short-term markups, but not so good at picking long-term winners that exit. So many great companies had stone-cold sober passes by all but 1-2 investors.
