Daily conversations with Europe’s top investors, founders and LPs for anyone tracking the continent’s venture scene.
Daily conversations with Europe’s top investors, founders and LPs for anyone tracking the continent’s venture scene.
The European VC—branded EUVC—is a Denmark‑ and Portugal‑based podcast that “dives deep with Europe’s GPs on their thesis, strategies and operations,” positioning itself as the continent’s equivalent of 20VC.
Co‑hosts Andreas Munk Holm and David Cruz e Silva release near‑daily interviews with general partners, limited partners, corporate venture chiefs and the occasional policy maker. Each episode unpacks fund construction, sector bets and macro trends such as tech sovereignty or Article 9 climate mandates, giving listeners an insider’s map of European deal‑flow dynamics.
Beyond pure audio, EUVC operates a Substack community that offers masterclasses, LP AMAs and syndicate opportunities—turning the show into both a media flywheel and an angel‑LP gateway. The result is a multi‑platform brand that connects emerging managers with capital while archiving the oral history of Europe’s venture boom.
EUVC is your go‑to podcast for everything European VC, co‑hosted by Andreas Munk Holm and David Cruz e Silva. Each episode features the most prominent people from the European VC industry, giving you a fresh perspective on the geo we love.
Emerging VCs can reverse‑engineer three patterns. First, Europe’s smaller fund sizes demand DPI‑minded exits; episodes with Capnamic and Seedcamp reveal how €500 k checks can compound into fund‑makers.
Second, policy and structure matter: discussions on SAFEs, British “notary battles” and EU cross‑border reforms teach listeners how regulation shapes term‑sheet risk.
Third, community is capital. EUVC’s own evolution from podcast to syndicate illustrates how media distribution funnels proprietary deal flow, a playbook first‑time managers can adapt for niche theses.
Andreas Munk Holm (@LPhypeman) is a content‑creator‑turned‑angel LP and venture partner at Isomer Capital, known for championing micro‑funds across the continent. David Cruz e Silva (@dave_bcs) is an operator turned LP adviser who sits on IMD research boards and invests alongside Isomer. Frustrated by the US tilt of venture media, the pair launched EUVC in December 2020 with the goal of “connecting and championing European venture,” a mission that now spans podcasts, newsletters, events and a growing syndicate platform.
The archive showcases marquee names across stages and sectors. Recent guests include Bhavik Vashi of Carta (APAC & MENA MD) discussing Southeast‑Asia portfolio construction, Jörg Binnenbrücker of Capnamic breaking down LeanIX’s €1 billion exit, and Fabian Heilemann of impact‑native fund AENU on evergreen climate vehicles.
Deep‑tech voices such as EIF’s Björn Tremmerie and RNA specialists Jean Schmitt (Jolt Capital) and Rob Blackie dissect Europe’s sovereignty gaps, while operator specials bring in platform leaders like Fanny Talagrand of Stripe.
The hosts also run rotating series—Path to Market with Stripe, Impact Highlights with Article 9 funds, and The EUVC Lowdown round‑table with SuperSeed’s Dan Bowyer—broadening exposure beyond traditional VC circles.
