20VC: Why SaaS is Dead | Why AI First Companies Will Win | We are in the Middle of a Cold War for AI Talent | Why Europe is F******* and We Need to Stop Whining with Daniel Khachab, Co-Founder @ Choco

They need the government support and they need a lot of clean water. And actually we can provide that in Europe. That's one. We need to bring them here. Electricity obviously or energy is obviously like a way bigger challenge in particular of the shift to renewables. To me it's an unsolved problem.

I also see an ethical problem there because it should be like from a general perspective should we go back to nuclear for it?

I'm personally not a big fan of New Geo just because I think it puts a lot of responsibility on future generations for problems that we haven't solved yet. That might be the only way.

Because we have a structural issue here. And that is with a talent gap. How are we going to bring the right level of talent to build, not to build a foundational model, but to build a competitive foundational model? A model that can compete with OpenAI, that can compete with Anthrothic, that can compete with Nvidia, with X, with Lama. How do we get this kind of talent?

Yeah, I agree with you. I think just it's structural because it feels a bit more like you need the right person at the right time who actually is willing to take the risk. Whereas I think it's more in your control to provide energy and to bring a chip manufacturer.

So I think when we look at keynotes about tech in Europe, there's always three things that are getting mentioned. First, on the con side is we don't have enough capital. Second, on the con side is with too much regulation. And third, on the pro side is we actually have enough engineering talent that is being produced by our universities and stuff. And I believe that.
