[ 🚀 Silicon Valley immersion week] "Silicon Valley is mathematically impossible to replicate." That's what they told us on Day 1 of our immersion. Last June, I spent 5 days immersed in Silicon Valley with #ESCP. Silicon Valley's real export isn't technology or capital. It's a methodology for creating environments where diverse talents collaborate, fail safely, learn quickly, and build solutions collectively. Five days I met 20+ tech ecosystem's stakeholders among serial entrepreneurs, VCs, visiting OpenAI, Microsoft, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, AGI Hacker House, House of AI, and many more. What I learned doesn't fit in a single post. So I took the time to write a full article. 👀 A few highlights: ➡️ "It's not about how many people you know, but how many people know YOU." (Boris Frochen) ➡️ An entrepreneur who survived 7 avalanches and decided to dedicate his life to healthcare ➡️ The "give back" culture that makes Silicon Valley's talent singularity ➡️ Why European entrepreneurs might actually have an edge right now ➡️ The House of AI in San Francisco — where serendipity beats formal ecosystems ➡️ The "ecosystem thinking" philosophy: your company is temporary, your ecosystem is permanent The real opportunity isn't competing. It's building bridges between ecosystems.
