Puntata di oggi tutta sul “software di sovranità” europeo: come si proteggono idee, dati e modelli mentre l’AI entra nei processi critici. Partiamo da Londra con Ankar, fondata da ex Palantir, che chiude una Series A da €17M guidata da Atomico (con Index Ventures che raddoppia e partecipazione di Norrsken VC e Daphni). La tesi: l’IP non è solo burocrazia, è execution. Se riesci a industrializzare il workflow di brevetti e protezione dell’invenzione, trasformi un cost center in un vantaggio competitivo.Seconda storia: Wodan AI (Spagna/Belgio) raccoglie €2M pre-seed per abilitare AI che lavora direttamente su dati cifrati tramite homomorphic encryption — un tema enorme per banche, difesa e pubblica amministrazione. Il round è guidato da JME Ventures, Swanlaab e Adara Ventures, con l’ingresso di ScaleFund. Qui il punto non è “fare AI”, ma renderla adottabile nei settori regolati: privacy e compliance diventano parte dell’architettura, non un afterthought.Chiudiamo a Copenhagen con NobodyWho, che ottiene €2M pre-seed (PSV Tech, The Footprint Firm, Norrsken Evolve) per portare Small Language Models on-device: AI su smartphone e laptop, senza cloud. Promessa: più controllo sui dati, costi più bassi, offline reale e maggiore efficienza energetica — con una community già attiva (oltre 5.000 developer sul loro engine open source).Un episodio utile per chi lavora in startup, VC, corporate innovation, product e tech policy: quando l’AI matura, i round più interessanti spesso finanziano la “plumbing” invisibile che permette scala, compliance e vantaggi difendibili.

Lewis's The Last Battle St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC Come join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the riches of C.S. Lewis’s marvelous book The Last Battle, which is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a remarkable book on multiple levels and was awarded the Carnegie Medal back in the 1950s when it was first published. The Last Battle has some themes in common with The Great Divorce and That Hideous Strength that will make it an excellent follow-up to those two books, and like them, it has some remarkable resonance with things going on in today’s culture. It is a book that is both theologically rich and poignantly beautiful in its writing, and it can help equip us to live boldly for Christ in a culture that has lost its way. (Although this book is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia, it can stand on its own and it is not necessary to have read the other books for this class.) The Sweet Spot Jake Lebovitch & Mark Abramovitz On "The Sweet Spot" podcast, Jake & Mark discuss the "SWEET SPOT" between data utilization and human decision making within baseball development and gameplay. Within sports today, data analytics is taking over. However, human decision making still plays a valuable role in development and gameplay, and combining this intuition with data-driven insights leads to better results. The question is... what's the sweet spot? Jake is a sports performance coach and former NCAA pitcher. Mark manages growth strategy for a startup and is an ex-Goldman Sachs quant and former NCAA rower.
