According to a VC, the EU is giving €350 grants to entrepreneurs building AI companies. Several founders reportedly took the money and dropped out of their 9th year of university to build full-time, giving them nearly 12 months of runway. Reposter Igor Carron's sarcastic '350 buckarus, yeah!' highlights how meager the amount is for startup funding.
