My guest today is Philippe Botteri.

Philippe is a partner at the venture capital firm Accel, and a co-creator of one of my favorite yearly reports on European tech, the Euroscape. 

Philippe’s career as an investor is nothing short of breathtaking. From hits like Ui Path to Doctolib, he is one of the most renowned investors in Europe today, so it was an absolute pleasure to sit down with him and talk.

Our conversation is a bit shorter than usual, but don’t worry—Philippe delivers. 

In just thirty minutes, we covered a whole bunch of topics: Luck and why everyone creates their own; what made Philippe realize, back in the early 2000s, that Europe was the place to be in for tech investment; The Euroscape report origin, and how it evolved over time; the decentralization of European tech hubs, and why that matters; what Philippe looks for in founders before he invests; and much much more. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation, as much as I did.
