Watch investor Hendrik Brandis, co-founder of the highly successful VC firm Earlybird, analyze the European startup ecosystem and changes in the financial world that happen worldwide.
Innovation keeps speeding up, Brandis explains, because “technology is driving technology”. Highly disruptive technologies used to be spread out over decades – now they follow each other every couple of years. In addition, “skills as a barrier to entry are fading away”, Brandis observes. “Everybody can participate. That leads to a democratization of innovation.”
