It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy… I got something to announce:
We're launching PROTOTYPE: a new fund, fully focused on Europe.
A small fund that punches way above it's size.
With it we back what Europe is world-class at: robotics, automation, manufacturing, and anything that requires hard engineering.
First check. First round. As early as it gets.
Europe invented industry. We're the birthplace of precision manufacturing. The second largest manufacturing hub on the planet. Leaders in automation and robotics.
And yet…
We sell out our best tech to China. We export our best founders & most of our investment money to the US. That's insanity.
What should we do instead?
Build the next trillion euro companies in robotics, manufacturing, automation right here: in Europe. Showcase to young founders what is possible and change the system around them where needed.
What we will do:
→ Publish all our fund updates and build in public: updates.prototypecap.com
→ Showcase Europe’s Most Ambitious Startups on Youtube: youtube.com/@prototypecap
→ Launch & support more projects like @euinc_petition. Enough talking about Europe. Time to build it: Startups, makerspaces, student clubs, and much more.
→ And most importantly, invest into the best founders in Europe. Same model as our previous funds that are in their top 1-5% cohorts worldwide.
We won’t do a VC fund in the classic sense.
This will be a community of hyper-ambitious people who want to actively change Europe for the better.
