Summary
Balderton Capital has launched a "Built in Europe" campaign backed by over 100 founders (including Revolut, Mistral, and Wayve) to counter the narrative that European tech is perpetually catching up to Silicon Valley. The campaign asserts that Europe already builds world-class companies and aims to shift the confidence deficit in the region's tech ecosystem. It includes billboards and city banners across London, Paris, Stockholm, Berlin, and Munich.
