🎥 Higgsfield’s valuation quadrupled in just eight months.

☀️ Beach, boats, deals or total shutdown? We asked Europe’s VCs how they spend the summer.

Some are taking calls from the beach. Others are closing deals, meeting founders or working remotely from summer houses and boats. And a few are trying to do something even harder: properly switch off.

Here’s what we heard:

🏖️ A Superhero Capital partner closing a deal in Denmark
🚗 An investor completing a deal during a family road trip
📞 Calls and portfolio work between holidays
🌊 Investors choosing quieter places to think
📱 One phone sealed in a Ziploc bag for a truly offline break

Compute is becoming a finance problem. 💸

Volta raised $300 million, lined up $5 billion in financing and signed a $10 billion cloud deal — all in seven months. Backed by Nvidia and Michael Dell, the startup is betting that access to compute is now just as much about capital as it is about chips.

Founded by former Brookfield executives Ricard Boada and Sofia Gumuzio, Volta is trying to build an AI infrastructure business around project finance. The idea is straightforward: if hyperscalers can fund their own GPU clusters, everyone else needs a different way in.

Anthropic pays engineers $746,000. Europe’s top AI startups don’t 👀

We looked at Levels.fyi data and spoke with PitchBook’s Navina Rajan about why the gap is so big.

◾ Europe has a strict salary ceiling.
◾ It is not a talent or ambition gap.
◾ A two-tier market is forming.
◾And it says a lot about who can afford to hire the best people, and who can’t.

Olix just raised $312 million at a $3.3 billion valuation to try.

The new round, backed by Arm, Hudson River Trading, and Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, more than triples the startup’s valuation from just six months ago.

Instead of building another general-purpose GPU, Olix treats AI inference like a “token factory.” Its X-1 platform uses an optical interconnect (transmitting data with light instead of copper) to spread workloads across highly specialised chips.

The real test will be whether Olix can actually deliver its promised 10,000 tokens per second when the first customer racks ship in the second half of 2027.

📉 In 2015, Nikolay Storonsky asked investors for £1.5 million. The pitch? A travel FX card.

There were no lending products. No US expansion plans. Not a single mention of a banking licence.

📈 Today, Revolut is a confirmed $115 billion banking giant.

We looked inside Revolut’s original seed deck, and the contrast is staggering. But the biggest gap between that 2015 pitch and reality is playing out right now.

🚀 A lost capsule did not stop this European startup from chasing a $2B valuation.

The Exploration Company is reportedly negotiating to raise at least $300M as Europe looks for its own answer to SpaceX

The real story is that investors may be pricing in space sovereignty before full technical proof.

🇪🇺 Europe still does not have its own cargo return capability. This company wants to build it. And the market seems willing to fund that ambition early.
