What this is, who it’s for, and why it exists.

Welcome! If you work in, invest in, or build European startups, you’re in the right place.

Who & Why

The Venturist is published by Patrons, a venture-media company that highlights Europeans building something noteworthy. Media is how we stay close to the ecosystem, and how we find the companies worth backing. We’re not journalists and we never set out to be. The Venturist studies the European companies, technologies, and people worthy of deeper attention.

The Venturist covers European tech because we find it exciting, at a time when most media covering it still defaults to skepticism. We study the companies, technologies, and people worthy of deeper attention, and we do so with curiosity and eagerness to uncover.

What You Can Expect

We’ll wholeheartedly attempt to give you the best and highest quality analyses on stories, strategies and knowledge behind some of our continent’s greatest representatives. That will come in the shape of:

> Deep analyses

> Interviews with thought leading founders and investors

> Our own, very opinionated angles

> Data maps & resources

> Guides

Why Join The Venturist Today

• Understand the European companies and technologies that actually deserve your attention. We go deeper on the businesses, sectors, and technological greatness that matter, so you spend less time reading press release headlines and more time understanding what is real.

• Study the people shaping Europe’s future. Founders, investors, operators, and researchers do not build important things in isolation. We want to understand how they think, what they are building, and why it matters.

• See Europe with more clarity and conviction. Too much of the conversation around European technology is shallow, derivative, or timid. We aim to replace that with depth, seriousness, and a sharper sense of what is actually happening.

• Build better taste. The goal is not just to give you information, but to help you develop better judgment about companies, technologies, and markets over time.

• Be part of a stronger culture around European technology. The Venturist is built on a simple belief: what gets studied seriously gets taken seriously. By joining, you help create a publication that gives Europe’s most important companies, technologies, and people the attention they deserve.

Also For You

We also share deal flow with investors in our network, cover companies we find interesting, and connect founders to funds when there’s a good fit. Occasionally we write our own angel checks. Check what we can do for you here.
