How would you meet the #founder of the next billion-dollar #tech company — through an AI recommendation or at a party? 🍹 One of the many interesting topics in my great conversation with @gdilansisu from @e2mindset (full video on @the_recursive YouTube channel)
We also covered why visibility can be a strategic asset in tech and venture capital, whether age really matters for founders, whether early-stage teams should invest more in founder personal #brands or company brands, when media relations should become a priority for #startups, why more investors are launching podcasts 🎙️🌍.
And then the question every #investor quietly wrestles with: how do you distinguish strong founder conviction from pure delusion — without missing the next unicorn because the market initially looked small 🚀
There’s a broader thread running through all of this too — visibility, social influence in venture capital, how VC brands are built, and how relationships actually form, both online and offline.
The most recursive thing about December? 🎄 Reflecting on the year’s growth to prepare for next year’s scale. May your holidays be stress-free, and your health and happiness evergreen. This is time to clear the cache and optimize for the next cycle! 💫
💬 "CEE’s Deep Tech Startups Are Built Like Labs, Yet Still Trying to Get Funded Like Apps" says @eti_yovchev7 from @the_recursive .
A new Deep Tech & AI Founder Playbook by @cfoinsightsoficial lays out a stark argument: Central and Eastern Europe’s lab-born companies in AI, quantum, robotics, photonics, and advanced materials are being limited by financing models designed for apps, not algorithms.
Incl. comments from @dianaaladzhova , CFA, @0ndra_li0n from Tensor Ventures, Elvin Guri from INVENIO Partners, and @georgesidjimkov , formerly Managing Partner at Sofia Angels Ventures.

Hard truth from Geri Kirilova, Partner at Laconia Capital Group in New York:
📣 Investors don’t buy your past. They buy your future.
From Sofia → New York → Zurich. ⛰️
Geri Kirilova blends skepticism with agency to back founders who turn momentum into global scale.
Her perspective kicks off our new editorial series Backchannels — where our CEO-turned-reporter Teodor Antonio Georgiev takes you behind the scenes of global deals.

In a world of constant transformation, the concept of a linear career is becoming a relic.🗿 Nowadays, success is often not about climbing a single, well-defined ladder, but about navigating across industries, roles, and even professional identities. 👩🏫

🗨️ “This is probably the most exciting time to build high-value drones in Europe. A lot of the early design decisions we made have proven right, including fixed wing, conventional power, and payload optimization.” ✈️

Why do so many founders struggle to talk about failure?
More importantly, why do we still stigmatize it? 😱
As the person who brought Fuckup Nights to Austria and helped spark a movement across Europe, Dejan Stojanovic understands the paradox founders face: needing super-focus vision to build, while being blind to red flags.
Through these events Dejan has helped create spaces where people can speak openly, reflect deeply, and start to process what they’ve learned.
Dejan’s story isn’t just about events or startups. It’s about reshaping how we talk about success, mistakes, and growth.
Because failure is not a detour — it’s part of the journey.

Marina Cangelaris has built and scaled startups on five continents 🌍 — from HelloFresh in its early days to proptech expansions in Europe and the US. But it was a remote work stint on the Kenyan coast that changed everything. 🇰🇪🏝️
In her guest piece, Marina shares the unconventional path that led her from venture-backed scaleups to founding @gotukiobooking , a travel platform simplifying the 🦁 African safari booking experience.🦒
She reflects on lessons from Rocket Internet, HelloFresh, and Blueground — and why the East African travel tech space was the opportunity she couldn’t ignore.
