    Pitch live, get honest feedback, and secure up-to €250,000. Investing in Europe’s AI Future – We Haven’t Given Up! Despite the challenges, we firmly believe in the power of European founders to build world-class AI solutions that can compete—and win—against US and Chinese counterparts. 🌍🇪🇺 Europe has the talent, the research excellence, and the ambition. What we need is more belief, more capital, and a stronger ecosystem that empowers startups to scale globally. We are actively looking to invest in AI-driven startups that are bold enough to challenge the status quo, build transformative technologies, and prove that Europe can lead the next wave of AI innovation. If you’re working on something groundbreaking, let’s talk. Tony E. Kula and myself are hosting a live demo day on Friday. If you want to apply - connect and comment "Pitch" below.

    Founding Partner Vanagon⚡️Backing Relentless Tech Founders

    This weekend was a tough one for me. Having worked for US companies most of my career and having studied in three European countries, I consider myself a Transatlanticist — valuing their shared commitment to innovation, resilience, and progress. I thrive in the intersection of European pragmatism and American ambition, believing in the power of collaboration across borders However, this feeling took a hit last Friday. We are now already far behind the Zeitenwende or even a wake-up call. We are already in the midst of a seismic shift in transatlantic relations, as the BBC coined it. For us Europeans this shift couldn’t come at a worse time. The economy is struggling our military lacks resources and we are still too busy with inner politics. But lamenting won’t help. Sometimes, people rise above themselves when they have no other choice. That’s exactly where we are now. We need to abandon outdated reflexes and ways of thinking The key? Relentless innovation, industrial resurgence, and technological dominance. Here are five critical areas where Europe must push forward to secure its future and drive transformation: 🚀 Re-Industrialization & Advanced Manufacturing – Strengthening Europe’s industrial backbone through automation, AI, and high-tech materials. ⚡ Energy Resilience & Clean Tech – Building a self-sufficient, sustainable energy infrastructure for long-term security. 🌐 Digital Infrastructure & AI Leadership – Creating a sovereign digital ecosystem and leading in responsible AI. 🛡 Defense & Dual-Use Technology – Innovating in next-gen defense and dual-use technologies for strategic autonomy. 🌱 Bioeconomy & Food Security – Securing sustainable agriculture, biomaterials, and water resources for a resilient future. The Path Forward Europe cannot afford to stand still. The road to resilience and global leadership runs through bold investments in these five domains. This is more than adaptation—it’s transformation. The time to act is now.

    investing in tech founders in the cultural and creative industries 🤖🎨

    Last night, New Renaissance Ventures had the pleasure of co-hosting a special gathering alongside Lopo and Jimmy from V3 Ventures and Ludolf from Paloneo, bringing together founders, investors, and creative industry stakeholders in an intimate setting at Fidelio Cafe in London. In contrast to the usual content-driven events, we offered a moment of pure cultural stimulation: a stunning piano concert by rising solo pianist Sofía Medina (sound on in the video). We so rarely find time in our busy schedules to truly listen and appreciate the beauty of live music. The perfect reminder that the intersection of creativity and technology isn’t just about disruption, it’s about inspiration. 🎶 We were joined by investors from many friendly funds, including Octopus Ventures, Balderton Capital, Blossom Capital, Lakestar, General Catalyst, Left Lane Capital, FOV Ventures, Blue Wire Capital, General Atlantic and several more. Thanks to everyone who joined and made this such a memorable evening.

    Historically, the cultural and creative sector has relied on funding from the state and rich patrons. 📈 But, since the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 government funding in culture has generally remained below pre-2008 levels. Across the OECD, cultural services now represent an average of just 1.2% of total government spending. 🚘 Today, Venture Capital has become the driving force. Learn more about how in our latest article: https://lnkd.in/edsjjHCX How do you think funding for cultural and creative industries will look like in the future?

    Europe at the crossroads: economic irrelevance or another #renaissance? During London's Frieze Week, Paloneo convened 50 entrepreneurs, artists and investors to discuss two seemingly disconnected topics: (a) mobilising capital to catalyse a #regenerative economy, and (b) the importance of art in a globally dividing society. By uniting the next generation of innovators from the finance, art and technology spheres, Paloneo enables interdisciplinary dialogues and a platform for disruptive ideas. Thank you Doorway, Regenerate Asset Management, Vanagon.vc, Launch Africa Ventures, Tee Ganbold 🌏, Ruby Weiner, Eloise Dean, Lucca Hue-Williams and Izzy Getty for your perspectives and contributions which made this event in the heart of Marylebone so extraordinary. We are looking forward to the next!

    "Blockchain networks are like cities, built from the bottom up by the people who inhabit them. Entrepreneurs build businesses, creators cultivate audiences, and users have meaningful choices, rights, and agency. Networks operate transparently, governed by communities. People who contribute are rewarded financially. It’s an internet built by everybody, for everybody." – Chris Dixon, Read Write Own 🟧
