500 VCs and thousands of founders have already joined the movement! That's HUGE for European Startups, but no time to chill. 🚀

- Europe's risk-capital backed ventures create jobs at 3x the pace of the traditional market.
- 8 of 10 of the world's most valuable companies were once VC-backed startups
- The startups signing the EU Inc petition today have already more enterprise value, than the biggest player in Germany automotive and chemical industry combined in market cap. And they are just getting started.

Yet lets be realistic, our industry won't collect 1 Million signatures needed for an official European Citizen Initiative, but we can do what startups do - get creative, re-invent distribution and create a step-function.

Which founder, which VC, which KOF from your local ecosystem do we need on the petition? Please comment and tag
