IsForAt · x · 2026-10-17
Pushing back on Marc Andreessen's claim that Europe is 'determined to be left behind' on AI, TheHolyKau lists categories where the top 1-2 companies are European: Parloa (CX, Germany), Lovable (vibe coding, Sweden), ElevenLabs (TTS, Poland/UK), Legora (legal, Sweden), Synthesia (video, UK), and 1X (robotics, Norway/US). Most didn't exist a few years ago — Europe is behind, but fighting hard.
