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 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:
#1 Angles: Opinionated pieces on our future and surroundings
#2 Conversations: Interviews with thought leading founders and investors
#3 Guides: Breakdown of challenges and remedies for both founders and investors
#4 Charts: Data maps, databases, and resources that will help you
#5 Case Studies: Deeply researched, analytical pieces giving the overdue attention to our continent’s titans
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 quality.
Study the people shaping Europe’s future. Europeans fail at making the founders stars of the show. We don’t need to go across the Atlantic to pick up strategies and opinions. Study European thought leaders.
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 Europeans have to offer.
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. 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.
The best generation of European tech companies hasn’t been built yet. That’s why we’re here.
