But everyone still wants to build: the "better-designed to-do list” the next "social media marketplace” “B2B SaaS, but with an AI feature (literally just one GPT call)” Meanwhile, 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 $575𝐁 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲💅🏻 92,000+ municipalities. 448M citizens. And barely anyone’s building for them. GovTech is the backbone of Europe’s digital sovereignty. It’s not another "SaaS" that helps sales teams write follow-up emails 2.3% faster. As Andreas Michel co-founder and CEO of Locaboo, said at our LAUNCH NIGHT! last Friday: “𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨—𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.” (By the way, follow him if you want to read some of the best GovTech content on LinkedIn.) We can already hear the voice in your head🥸 “𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩, 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘭… 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘹” “𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 — 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘧 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥?” Fair. Starting from 0 in GovTech? It's like jumping straight into Season 5 of a terribly complicated Netflix show. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐬. So you 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 from 𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨. You 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 at 𝐨𝐧𝐞. We match 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 with 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 that are ready to move. From day one, you'll be working on validated problems that are scalable and impactful. And you won’t be pitching to a wall — you’ll be building alongside partners who actually want to implement. This isn’t a classroom. This is building Germany’s digital public future. GovTech is the next big vertical — and this is your shortcut to get in early.
