The EU plans a new fund to help tech companies scale.

The European Commission plans to use EU funds to buy stakes in AI and quantum companies seeking to scale as it continues a bid to counter US dominance.

According to a draft strategy seen by POLITICO, the EU will create a new Scaleup Europe Fund next year that is privately managed and co-financed by private investors.

#holacracy seems to be quite attractive to #startups and #scaleups.

reasons expressed: we don't want #hierarchy.

fact: #holacracy IS #hierarchy. the only way circles can be connected is through rep-links and lead-links, making them sub- and super-circles.

this is #hierarchy through the back door!

A lot of #DigitalTransformation concepts seem relevant/compatible with the challenges of #ScaleUps and, I suspect, the challenges of #BigTech companies that have become operationally stale.

Did your startup or scaleup ever work with consultants, and if yes: how did you find them, and what was the experience like? Would love to hear your horror and/or success stories.

Asking as I'm working on some customer research today! I'm trying to figure out how Datakami can make the consulting experience as good as possible for our startup friends.

Pretty proud to be part of the Ocean Rainforest team as we secure funding for future growth together with investors like The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, Katapult Ocean's Deep Blue fund, Builders Vision and the Ocean Born Foundation.

As Paul Dobbins, Senior Director of Impact Investing at World Wildlife Fund - US, says: “With limited environmental impacts and a low carbon footprint, seaweed absorbs CO2 and other excess nutrients from the ocean, making this fast-growing crop a climate-smart and nutritious food source,”

“But seaweed can only thrive as a climate change solution if we create a market for the many food, feed and fossil-based replacement products seaweed can provide. Ocean Rainforest is addressing the feed market and their successful capital raise shines a spotlight on this growing opportunity.”
