This week on Sidekick, David briefly digs into one of the hottest topics: the current state of the VC market in Europe.
He highlights Gil Dibner’s perspective on how investors try to generate alpha by being short-term contrarian but long-term right. He explores why the market feels like a gold rush, with VCs chasing the same few AI plays, valuations soaring above €50 million at seed, and billions at risk of being burnt.
For founders in learning and the future of work, the episode offers a clear takeaway: don’t get distracted by hype. Focus on defensibility: trust, distribution, and workflow integration; because those are the moats that will outlast the frenzy.
