Cultural DNA: The American vs. European Tech Mindset
In this episode, we explore the cultural DNA of tech ecosystems. Kenneth Kashif Thomas, Principal at BackFuture, joins us to talk about the surprising differences in the US and European startup scenes. Kenneth explains how the American "no-BS" attitude and willingness to fund “napkin deals” creates a different landscape for founders. The conversation also tackles the hype around AI, the importance of focusing on real use cases, and how building a strong community is the human underpinning of success in the tech world.
