Bluesky's European startup community is underrated - small, but dense, and approachable compared to X and US markets.
I've curated a Starter Pack of great active accounts to follow in the EU startup and VC ecosystem!

What’s the number one emerging criteria for solution search today? I can share a perspective.
Once an advisor, always an advisor. I still talk with my ex clients, often.
And there is one consideration which is really trending:
“Ok, we’re really looking for non-US now”

You know the saying that every threat is an opportunity?
If you are an entrepreneur in Europe looking for your next big project, you’ve got opportunities left and right.
Any segment dominated by US company suddenly has room for European alternative.
Grab it.

Merz just may give Europe the political leadership required to pool our resources, and start working towards a technologically independent Europe.
I expect a high demand for dual purpose tech which also serves our defensive independence.
No need for expeditionary spending.
#Europreneur
Friedrich Merz is evolving—stating Europe’s future must be built in Europe. A step for Germany, a stride for Europe. A leap away from US
• Embracing European autonomy over blind transatlantic dependence.
• Cutting red tape so businesses can thrive.
Congrats, Herr Merz.

This is mandatory reading for any #Europreneur
Any US technology asset is now a liability.
Software, hardware, service.
We kindly recommend you start shopping for alternatives, today.

This is exactly what #Europreneur movement is saying.

The trust is broken. As simple as that.
The world is changing! And not just for the worse.
Europe is waking up.
No more sellouts!

Stop Burning Europe’s Future on Dividends
European companies must resist the siren song of dividends. Every cent siphoned off to shareholders is a cent stolen from innovation, talent, and long-term growth.
Want to build giants? Stop cashing out and start scaling up.
#Europreneur #investment
Every entrepreneur in Europe needs to also understand this.
Decouple.
Sell your products and services to US, not your shares and control.
And never lie you had to sell stock to “enter US market”.

Three business marks available from Finland: the Key Flag representing Made in Finland, the Design from Finland, and Finnish Social Enterprise marks.
NxtStride.com is considering applying for all three marks for our service and platform.
Do marks like this make an impression on you? Would they influence your purchase decision as a business?

Individualism is a mirage, a broken promise. So is collectivism.
Europe needs to champion our unique value of respecting individual immersed in a community. Like we value nations in a union.
Let’s build around that.

EU Inc is Europe’s plan to create a unified tech ecosystem.
It brings together funding, R&D, and smart policies so that startups can thrive, innovations are shared, and key technologies stay European.
Think of it as a continent-wide team project for our future.
#EUInc #Innovation #europreneur
Awesome to see EC is working on important topics to strengthen the inner market and to set the seed for tech made in eu!
#europreneur
EU Inc wants a unified legal structure for EU startups. Europreneur fights for a broader shift—less bureaucracy, more founder-driven power.
Both push for a stronger Europe, but one is policy, the other a movement.

#Europreneur is an emergent property of our times.
Europe must struggle free of the dependencies we’ve allowed ourselves to become immersed in.
Every easy political choice we ever made is coming home to roost, all at once.
Yes.
This thought started brewing in my head a couple of months ago. The idea of #Europreneur took me over a bit.
I want to redefine European definition of success. Which isn’t so goddamn dismal and horrible.
And EU startups need to stop selling themselves to SV. Grow a spine!
We need to also make sure we are not simply fattening EU startups just so they can be sold to American competitors.
Let’s stop celebrating any acquisition. Why celebrate millions when they make billions?
#europreneur
I think the EU arms race to finance European AI startups is an excellent example of how the cold, dark teatime of risk avoidance may be coming to an end.
Recent geopolitical shifts are forcing EU to stop over indexing on US. Take our own risks.
It’s a good thing.
#europreneur
You have a voice in the Europreneur Movement!
Are you based in Europe, and building something? Do you believe European startups deserve more recognition, and a more independent future?
Join the Movement. Let's figure this out together!

You know what.
I’m building a global service and we were just about to switch to using dollars by default.
I won’t. We’ll stick with euros.
It’s a small step, but it is a step in the right direction.
#europreneur
A great example of why we need the @europreneur.org - we need to stop the sell, build a backbone, and hold of to success.
#europreneur
We’ve bought into the narrative where an European success story ends with an acquisition by a company in Silicon Valley.
We really need to stop celebrating that.
That’s not a win. It’s literally just selling out.
#europreneur
How can we, in Europe, fuel the growth of our companies?
We need to stop selling our businesses to far away competitors. It’s always a long term loss, at a premium.
#Europreneur
More and more to me it seems EU is a far more sustainable bastion of liberty than any other political beast.
The regulations and risk avoidance are a nuisance during times of growth. But they protect against pendulum swings we’re witnessing right now.
Let’s leverage that.
