Is the EU strangling tech services such as Meta AI and Apple AI with regulation? Is it doing the same to startups here? Is the phrase ‘America innovates, Europe regulates’ accurate?

Venture partner at Sure Valley Ventures Donal Cahalane joined Adrian on the show.

Adrian opened with the question is Europe a bad place for budding startups. Donal Calahane answered that start-ups in Europe must fight against more regulation than their US counterparts. He added that in the States there is an attitude of asking for forgiveness rather than permission.
