Nodes from Europe
Last month I traveled to Munich for [Bits & Pretzels](https://www.bitsandpretzels.com/), one of Europe's largest startup conferences, then spent a week in London meeting founders and data leaders from top VCs. My goal was to understand how Europe's ecosystem actually works: the capital dynamics, product culture, and how funds are building with AI. This site brings these learnings to life.
The boxes on the right aren't just for fun. They are the mapped network of people I met, with detailed notes from each conversation.
THE BOXES = PEOPLE
The bigger the box, the better the meeting.
THE CONNECTIONS = SHARED EXPERIENCES
Nodes are connected when people have shared work experience or education.
SO NOW
1. Play the song below to step into the network
2. Read through the summary below
3. Click on each of the nodes and read the meeting notes
4. Click 'Show Enriched Profile' to get their work experience and education (thanks to Aviato)
5. Drag and re-configure the nodes! It's fun.
6. Like and comment at the bottom of the summary, or on the individual nodes.
