Re: Kloof tussen Vlaming en Nederlandstalige Brusselaar wordt groter

Robin Wauters — Tue, 28 May 2019 10:23:47 -0000

Vreemd, ik voel me eigenlijk een beetje zowel Vlaming als Nederlandstalige Brusselaar (dat hebt ge als ge vlak op de rand opgroeit)

We hebben toch wel iets interessant gelanceerd met BeCentral aan 't Centraal, misschien ook in die richting denken voor een (voorlopige) oplossing voor leegstaande gebouwen? https://www.becentral.org/

Hey Ela, will look into it, but I believe we chose Acast for a reason at the time!

Re: Aside from fast-growing e-commerce startups, what else does Spain have to offer?

I'll let Alex chip in as well but I think he classifies them as e-commerce companies as well? Wallapop is mentioned in this article, and we've mentioned them previously:

Also Mitula! http://tech.eu/features/714...

I wouldn't necessarily call this a bad thing. Do we only want to learn from the experience from European companies if they stay in Europe at all costs?

Steal!

Re: London tops the list of most digital entrepreneur-friendly cities in Europe

Perhaps best to ask the people who actually did the study?

Keep the feedback coming, but note that research is always best countered with better research rather than 'anecdotal' evidence. You may know your ecosystem well, but comparing / benchmarking 35 in one go means compromise.

Re: Is Web Summit a scam? Well, if you have to ask …

Robin Wauters — Fri, 02 Oct 2015 07:20:32 -0000

From the post you've not read very thoroughly:

"We’re not in the conference business, and likely never will be (that’s not to say we won’t do events, just that they’ll be small and valuable, and not compete with Web Summit)."

Sorry, we're looking into how we can improve it, first leaderboard we've run so far :)

In the works :)

We have it in our (paid) report for 2014, not yet done the analysis because the year is not over: http://tech.eu/product/tech...

Absolutely! why?

We hear you. We'll find a way to improve it!

We do a lot of them, but we sadly don't have the very expensive equipment the TOA studio had :)

A (manual) mistake, fortunately only on the graph and not the data set - also, fixed now :)

Re: There are 1,000 tech scale-ups in Europe’s five largest economies, who’ve raised $23B in total: study

A question for SEP, but I imagine they'd need a lot more manpower and time for more extensive reports.

Both, sort of, we're a media partner - which I stupidly neglected to mention, will fix sorry :/

Re: Startup Amsterdam: can the Dutch capital catch up to Europe’s top startup hubs, London and Berlin?

I would wager most of them work mostly in English. For job opportunities, check http://jobs.tech.eu/

Re: European tech companies don’t exit? Think again. Tech.eu releases report on M&A and IPOs in 2014

Robin Wauters — Thu, 07 May 2015 10:15:23 -0000

Hey Sidar, the report is an analysis of accumulated data, we do a breakdown for certain countries but don't focus on individual exits. The raw data in itself isn't as interesting as the insights gained from them, we think :)

It absolutely was not. Because this is a report for 2014 :)

Re: The top 10 European tech speakers

Robin Wauters — Fri, 26 Dec 2014 04:36:20 -0000

Explanation from Bizzabo:

“We dug into our speaker popularity metrics database of more than 4,000 conferences (including hundreds of tech events), and asked event organizers for their dream team of speakers. This is an impartial list of many great rising speakers in the European tech community.”

FWIW
