Sifted is Europe's leading tech journalism platform covering the continent's startup ecosystem.

At SLUSH, Mimi spoke with Nebius's Head of Editorial, Linnéa Ahlgren, about what catches her eye in early-stage companies, why European AI startups are finally on par with the US, why founder visibility matters more than ever, and which sectors could produce Europe's next trillion-dollar company — hint: it's not necessarily the sexiest ones.
