“Only when the last opportunity has been fully regulated, the last talent fully lost, and the last technology innovation missed, will we realize we cannot eat legal papers.” More regulation to enable please. Less to limit.

At this point the whole EU Inc negotiations are so lost in the details that everyone forgot the main goal: Creating a standard. Basically, allow founders to raise quickly globally and use stock options to hire competitively. Let’s say it quite clearly: 1) If EU Inc isn’t providing a standard it’s useless. We already got 30+ legal entities in Europe. Experienced founders use Delaware Inc already because of this. 2) If EU Inc doesn’t fix stock options Delaware Inc is still the better option. I understand the there are complex details and people are worried about loopholes. But you can’t lose the actual goal of it because of it. An EU Inc that doesn't provide a standard is pointless. Nobody will care about intricacies of compromises reached in political committees if the market can't use the outcome. If you are in contact with your political leaders (prime ministers, presidents, et al) please reach out to them. Or to founders/investors in your network who might have that access. 🔥🇪🇺✌️

If you care about manufacturing or industry in the West you need to understand how China can produce so cheaply. In the 90s people would have said cheap labor. Now they would say supply chain. The real answer is insane hypercompetition in a race to the bottom. The Chinese call this involution. Everyone competes until there is no margin left. The West believes  it’s China vs the world. For Chinese companies it’s China vs China and a permanent Hunger Games just to survive. We break down how it works in our deep-dive. Full video in our channel: We cover the coffee wars , the EV race to the bottom that currently bankrupts Germany, cities that act like VCs, a wedding photographer that build a global top 10 car brands,cement plants getting sold by the state to buy car factories from Wales. How top-down policies and bottom-up hustle works, and how we in the middle will get squeezed by China Shocks every year from now on.

The US banned Unitree. They will do the most important robotics IPO this year anyway. In my opinion it will redefine Chinese startups, for sure robotics. This week Unitree started going public in Shanghai. First humanoid maker ever listed on the Chinese mainland. 8,000x oversubscribed by retail investors. But the story is bigger: It’s about (what i think is) China’s Moment. If the US had software in the 2000’s, China might own robotics in the 2020’s Want to be in the room when we record?
