Why Building a Business in the EU is Harder Than You Think
Thinking about building a business in the EU? It's harder than you think. In this interview, EU-based founder Mike Dragan explains why the European Union is not one unified market. He reveals that "people still tend to buy local" and cultural barriers between countries like France and Germany make expansion incredibly difficult for new startups. This conversation is a must-watch for any founder considering European expansion or fundraising. You'll learn the key difference between EU and US investors (profit vs. potential), why the EU has a 95% untapped market opportunity, and a prediction for the future of shopping and live commerce.
