Remco shares his journey from walking along the canals of Amsterdam fourteen years ago to having the inspiration to start one of the leading start-up and tech news platforms in Europe: Silicon Canals. Based on his years of discovery covering the sector, we discuss the differences between startups and investing between the US and Europe. He flips the switch and asks me about podcasting and we have a really interesting conversation about how this media could benefit his community.
