Matt is such a remarkable force for good in the UK. Very grateful for all he does.
As reported, I’ll be stepping back from my role as the Prime Minister’s Adviser on AI at the end of July. This will have been a yearlong “tour of duty”, first writing, then delivering the AI Opportunities Action Plan from No 10. A quick thread on why and what's next:
Alex is excellent - great to see another UK founder stepping up to help the country

A Dutch startup is addressing labour shortages in construction by building a team of brick-laying robots. We visit Monumental on our “Boss Class” podcast econ.st/40uiVrL
We just delivered an ENTIRE BLOCK of 8 houses near in Assendelft (near Amsterdam). All the brickwork was entirely done with a fleet of 5 of Monumental's robots (yes, including the corners) working together, a first in the world.
The future of construction, emerging from Europe.

.@MetaviewAI takes the bad data and fallibility out of hiring. Its AI hiring platform is now used by 3000 customers globally, saving each of them hours per job posting. We're thrilled to have invested once again as part of this Series B, led by @GVteam. fortune.com/2025/06/25/ube…
“There’s a vibe shift in Europe - people are incredibly energised, they’re realising the depth of talent we have here, and the scar tissue among the founder community." @CarinaNamih talks about Europe in the AI race with @BloombergTV's @TomMackenzieTV bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…

This is what makes @pluralplatform so exciting. They are changing the game in Europe.

1/ In less than 2 years since it was founded, @proximafusion has raised a $150M Series A - the largest private investment into fusion that Europe has ever seen. For first time founders to pull this off so quickly is unusual, so here's how they did it:
We’re proud to have backed >10% of the "25 EU Startups That Could Change the World” from @business & @Founders_Forum, incl The Exploration Company, Helsing & @BuildMonumental. This list speaks to a step change in the ambition emerging from🇪🇺bloomberg.com/features/2025-…
1/As an Estonian, from a country on NATO’s Eastern flank, you naturally think a lot about defence. It follows that I see a lot of defence companies. Today we’re announcing a $20m Series A into Labrys, to build defense and security coordination for the future. Here's why:
There are founder-friendly funds who explicitly don’t ask founders to pay their legal fees. @pluralplatform (EU) @flexcapital (my firm) @ycombinator If you know others, reply and tag them. Let’s build the list of the real founder friendly firms
1. The race to decarbonize our economy while meeting rising energy demands is one of humanity’s greatest challenges. We will electrify large parts of the economy, but for other parts we will still need conventional fuels. That’s why @pluralplatform is backing @Rivanindustries
“The EU has an excellent opportunity to build technology companies rooted in our humanistic values. Let’s not squander it by losing sight of the real obstacles to innovation.” Plural's @seikatsu teams up with @RistoUuk for this op-ed in @FortuneMagazine: fortune.com/2025/05/20/eu-…
