𝐏𝐄 𝐯𝐬. 𝐕𝐂 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞: 𝐀 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 Our latest data at Gain.pro highlights how PE and VC firms invest across Europe: ▪ PE-backed businesses are widely spread across the continent ▪ VC-owned assets are clustered in cities 📊 Sector focus drives this: – VC assets = 47% TMT (vs. 17% for PE) → drawn to innovation hubs – PE = 24% Services + 22% Industrials (vs. 13% & 7% for VC) → broader geographic reach beyond capitals 🌍 Top destinations: – Both: London & Paris lead – VC: 25% of assets in 11 cities (Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam next) – PE: 25% spread across 22 cities (Stockholm, Milan, Madrid stand out) ➡️ Same continent. Very different maps.

Oaktree just posted a job for “SVP, Head of AI” with a base salary of up to $225,000. This is one of the largest investment firms in the world, with over $200 billion in assets under management, hiring for what will be one of the most consequential roles of the decade… at a compensation level barely competitive with mid-level engineers at OpenAI or Anthropic. The mismatch says everything. AI will reshape every layer of capital markets, from risk modeling to deal sourcing to asset pricing. It’s not a “tech add-on.” It’s the new foundation of value creation. OpenAI and xAI are paying $800K–$1.5M for senior AI engineers. Meta reportedly offered nearly $1 billion in total compensation to poach top AI researchers from rivals. Even Disney offered more for its “VP of Collaboration and AI”. Meanwhile, legacy finance still views AI as an IT function rather than a strategic capability. That gap is the opportunity. The next era of investment firms will be built by those who see AI not as a tool, but as the strategy itself.

Here’s a harsh truth: fundraising today is slow, costly, and unfairly tilted towards the well-connected. You know what I’m talking about. We’ve all seen it again and again. Europe has brilliant founders with bold ideas, yet too many fail before they even get a fair chance. And don’t get me wrong, it’s not because they lack vision, but because the fundraising system is outdated. CORE changes that. Because founders get a digital co-pilot that levels the playing field: AI guidance, investor-ready decks, early visibility, and rounds live in under 72 hours. For the cost of a dinner, every founder now has access to the tools, structure, and visibility once reserved for a few. The real cost isn’t trying, it’s waiting. This isn’t about building another tool. It’s about building Europe’s private market infrastructure, where preparation, raising, and managing capital become accessible to all. 👉 This is how we level the field: https://lnkd.in/dsYhQqnp
