Hi there. We recently quietly launched a cool new platform beta feature 👀 - Dealroom Signal is a predictive algorithm to discover the most promising companies.
Where is the next global centre of innovation?
For the best part of 70 years, Palo Alto has been the world’s cradle of innovation in information technology, the singularity of Silicon Valley.
In the last decade, Europe has built a host of frontier tech hubs, but it also sits on strong fundamentals – leading research universities, a shared value system, engaged policy makers, embedded public transport infrastructure and hungry talent. Now it’s time to compete at the next level – take the template, evolve it, and make it its own. A connected, collaborative cross-border ecosystem.
Some of the most iconic US cities take their names from European counterparts, from New York to New Orleans. It’s time for Europe to build New Palo Alto.
2021 and 2022 brought fears of "insurtech death", but is it really that dramatic?
Well the funding environment has definitely changed from last year's euphoria, but it's more rationalization than collapse. There are strong signals that insurtech is here to stay and thrive, especially in Europe. Early and mid-stage investment is more active than ever, and insurtech is still relatively underinvested as a sector.
