Hi, itโs Nicolas from The Family. Today, Iโm framing an initial discussion on how Britain is faring in the Entrepreneurial Age. Read, and then subscribe to read Part 2 on Friday ๐

โ ๏ธ My latest column in Sifted is about what Iโm calling the โGreat Fragmentationโ. In it, I discuss the consequences for European startups and those (investors, governments) who back them. Read it here ๐ Time to double down on Europe ๐
๐บ๐ธ Meanwhile, the US is imploding. It now appears so fundamentally damaged that it cannot serve as a useful example for anyone elseโand thatโs a problem. We've all been taught for decades, especially in Europe, that we should look to the US for inspiration and direction. But now our future prosperity depends on finding a new direction. Will we find it by looking to the East? By looking at one another across our European borders? By looking back at what we achieved in the past?
