USA vs. Europe: Two Ways to Build a Startup

Raise big and scale fast, or bootstrap and stay independent? Two founders, two philosophies, one breakfast.

The American Way bets on venture capital and hypergrowth.The European Way relies on bootstrapping, profitability and keeping control.

Both want the same thing: a successful company. In this live debate, our speakers make the case for their path, challenge each other, and break down what each route really means for early-stage founders. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of which one fits your journey.
