In this episode of LaunchBase, I sit down with Dan Bowyer, partner at Super Seed, to discuss early-stage investing and why Europe’s tech scene needs a serious shift.
We cover:
✅ Why Dubai’s tech hype doesn’t compare to Europe and the US model ✅ How Europe can ‘Americanise’ its approach to funding and scaling ✅ The importance of founder-market fit and how it drives investment decisions ✅ Why personalized outreach trumps cold emails when raising capital ✅ Dan’s new fund focusing on very early-stage startups and what it takes to win
Dan also shares his thoughts on the differences between the European and US startup ecosystems, why second-time founders have an edge, and why having skin in the game is crucial for attracting serious investors. Tune in for insights on how to better navigate early-stage funding and take your startup to the next level.
