@omarsar0 @viktor__com The $20M ARR stat is solid evidence that talent concentration no longer maps to zip codes. Remote-first capital deployment is the structural shift most VCs still underweight.

I'm cautious about the "build from Europe" narrative, because most of it is sentiment with little behind it. Viktor is one of the cases that holds up. A European company running an AI employee inside Slack and Microsoft Teams for more than 20,000 teams, with Accel leading its Series A, built here by an ex-Meta team and competing globally without relocating. @viktor__com Great to see!
