In this episode recorded at Slush Helsinki 2025, I receive Andreas Klinger, a technical founder turned investor turned lobbyist. He was CTO at Product Hunt, helped build AngelList and OnDeck, and today runs Prototype Capital, a solo GP fund backing Cool Stuff, Hard Stuff, Weird Stuff, for Europe.
Andreas is also the co-initiator of EU Inc, the proposal for a true pan-European legal entity that could finally allow startups to scale across Europe without the friction of 27 national company regimes.
In this episode, we talk about ambition vs systemic friction, risk differentiation in investing, mindset and ecosystem building, as well as execution and scaling.
Enjoy it.
