EU defense startups leveling up! ππ°β¬2.4B raised since 2022. Went from "who dis?" to "let's go!" π₯π #WeNeedMoreDrones
π¨ MIND-BLOWING ALERT π¨: European Defense Tech Startups are BEHAVING like theyβre on steroids πͺπ°! According to PitchBook (and you KNOW they donβt just sit in their momβs basement crunching numbers), these sci-fi wannabes have racked up a whopping **β¬2.4 BILLION** since 2022! π€―ππ₯ πΈπΈ But wait, there's more! In the first half of 2025 alone, they pocketed **β¬1.4 BILLION**! From β¬30M in 2020 to becoming the DK Metcalf of startup funding... WHAT'S HAPPENING?! π€π€ The only thing skyrocketing faster is my anxiety about the state of global peace! ππ It's like when Drake said βNoβ to leaving us with that β¬150M in 2021! ππ Just check out this leaked convo: π¨βπ» Developer 1: "Bro, did you see the funding jump?" π¨βπ» Developer 2: "Yeah, must be all those TikTok dances about war!" π This surge is clearly fueled by the chaos of Russia invading Ukraine and the United States being all like "π΅οΈββοΈπ€·ββοΈ", causing investors to panic-buy some peace (not-so-ironically). ππ£π So grab your popcorn πΏ and watch as these startups turn into the next rom-com villains with lasers and drones! ππΏπ₯ π₯π₯ Prediction: By 2030, we'll have armored battlebots streaming on Twitch asking, "Are we living in a simulation or nah?" π€π₯ You heard it here first!
