The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: The Future of War: Are We Ready & What Needs to Be Done | China, Russia and Trump: What Happens Now | Raising $828M to Build the Defence Champion of Europe | Torsten Reil, Co-Founder @ Helsing

As people have stated, there was no new conflict under Trump's last administration. And so if you go by that, then it would reduce it. But there are other players obviously involved as well. We don't know what kind of capabilities are being developed in North Korea, how someone feels on a particular day.

The danger that we have, and I think something that is hard to control, is accidental escalation. For example, at the beginning of the Ukraine war, I think there was a danger of escalation, potentially even nuclear escalation. I think that eventually settled. The situation became more readable for everyone involved. Why was there the potential for nuclear escalation?

Because we were in a new conflict that was moving extremely fast. We were in uncharted territory in terms of Western support for Ukraine, in terms of what weapons should or should not be used, what would be the reaction on the other side. It was hard to predict, and everyone was kind of feeling their way into the situation.

I think those are situations that are fast moving and also where there's limited information where things can escalate quickly accidentally, even though neither party wants it. That is very hard to predict. These are very nonlinear events when they happen. And so that's why it's hard to predict whether a conflict is going to happen under a particular administration or not.

We are not sufficiently alerted to the danger of conflict. We've lived in conflict for forever, basically, and then had a period of time where there wasn't one. And I'm worried that we don't take it seriously because we don't want to think about it. And by the way, I don't want to think about it either. It's not nice to think about conflict, but we're not taking it seriously.

I think money can give you security. To me, that's by far the most important thing. So not having to worry about money makes a big difference in terms of how I think you lead your life in general, but also what risks you take with, let's say, your next company. In order to build a successful company, you have to take risks. Being safe on the money side makes it easier.
