🌍 Capital Without Borders: The Shifting Gravity of Global Innovation
Innovation is no longer tethered to geography—and neither is the capital behind it. Three stories this week illustrate a profound shift in the startup world:

🇬🇧 UK Startups Head West
British founders are chasing speed—and that’s leading many to U.S. venture capital. It’s not disloyalty; it’s survival. With ambition outpacing domestic funding, ecosystems across Europe face a stark choice: evolve or fade into irrelevance.

🇨🇳 Narwal’s $100M Leap Forward
Chinese robotics company Narwal lands $100M, signaling a new wave of global-ready tech players. With government support and consumer appetite for AI-driven automation, China is positioning itself at the forefront of the next industrial revolution—starting in the home.

🇪🇺 Matt Miller Returns with $300M Fund
A bold comeback for the European VC scene. Matt Miller’s new fund is more than capital—it’s a commitment to founder-first investing. In an era of fast money, strategic depth and long-haul thinking are making a quiet comeback.

Across these regions, one theme stands tall: borders are becoming irrelevant. The next unicorn might be imagined in Shenzhen, funded from San Francisco, and scaled from Berlin. Innovation is now fluid, fast, and deeply interconnected.

This isn’t just a shift in where we build. It’s a shift in how.
Collaboration beats competition. Strategy beats hype. And those who move across sectors, markets, and mindsets will own the future.
