About the Pulse of the European Startup Ecosystem

The European startup scene is changing fast. There are new players, old ones fading away, and even more to come in their place- all vying for a piece of this growing pie! To avoid getting left behind, you need regular updates on what's going on so that our entrepreneurs can stay one step ahead when building or investing in companies here. That's why we started the "Pulse of the European Startup Ecosystem" which will provide you with quarterly podcasts chronicling different aspects related to startup activity across European Hubs, supported by the data from the specialized analytics company DEEP Ecosystems.

The Boulder Thesis

One of the starting points of DEEP Ecosystems is The Boulder Thesis. It was poropesed by Brad Feld (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Feld). He formulated it as a basis to explain the success of the local Boulder, CO startup community.

Entrepreneurs must lead the startup community

The leaders must have a long-term commitment

The startup community must include anyone who wants to participate in it

The startup community must have continual activities that engage in the entire entrepreneurial stack

Example Odense, Denmark

Odense is with around 200.000 people only the 4th largest city in Denmark, but still managed to become a hub for Robotics companies and raised more than 860 mn € since 2015. It is world-class in robotics, raising 2020 alone 50 mn € for companies in this cluster. Companies located there include Universal Robots, Cabinplant, senmatic, MiR, ODICO, Shape Robotics, purple robotics, SCAPE, and many more. It all started out with Universal Robots founded in 2005 and exited in 2015. The three founders decided to invest in robotics startups locally. This cluster is a public-private partnership. Over time they had seven exits and three IPOs, very impressive for such a small town. They currently have 292 companies in robotics or related to it with 3,74 bn € annual revenues.
