Revolut, Mistral and Wayve founders back Balderton’s ‘Built in Europe’ push

Revolut, Mistral and Wayve back Balderton push to champion European tech

Balderton Capital launched "Built in Europe," a multi-city campaign backed by 100+ founders from Revolut, Mistral, Wayve and others, including a jobs platform aggregating roles from 1,000 European startups. For tech leaders hiring AI and deeptech talent, the initiative signals a coordinated effort to reposition Europe as a credible alternative to US/China ecosystems — with capital, talent density and deal flow increasingly backing that claim.
