Please take a moment and help my friend Tom Wehmeier and team at Atomico will this important annual State of European Tech survey: https://lnkd.in/efrgQTjF To quote Tom: "This year it feels more important than ever to check the pulse of the industry, not just because it's the 10th anniversary of running the report, but because the tech agenda for Europe has never been more in focus." I agree. Let's create the best possible environment for our companies to start, grow, scale and stay so they aren't forced to leave and have real choices. I care passionately about giving entrepreneurs and investors these choices. I've said it before and I'll say it again - public and private markets need each other to work effectively and I hope that people who aren't in the VC ecosystem also contribute to this survey and that paths cross more often to drive better outcomes. We need the cognitive diversity that Matthew Syed writes about more than ever. #EuropeanTech
