An excerpt from DeepEcosystems article - A recent study by Antler found that 74% of Europe's unicorn founders lack tech skills, and our own Startup Heatmap analysis (see in the comments for link to the full report) in 2023 revealed only 35% of European founders know how to code. This presents a significant challenge for growth in the European startup ecosystem, particularly given the increasing investor appetite for deep tech startups. The shortage of technical expertise among founders can limit innovation and scalability, making it crucial to activate more technical talent to step into entrepreneurial roles. Fostering an environment where developers and engineers are encouraged to lead startups could be key to unlocking the next wave of high-tech innovation in Europe. #innovation #startup #deeptech #ecosystem #entrepreneur
