Our founders had the chance to learn more about the business dynamics and approach from Maris and Max, who have extensive experience working with American companies as investors and entrepreneurs over the years.

Mosaic was not the first Web browser, but it was the first to make a significant impact. Mosaic v 1.0, released in November 1993, distinguished itself from the existing browsers by including features such as icons, bookmarks, a more appealing interface, and pictures that made the software simple to use and appealing to "non-geeks."

Marc Andreessen was one of the key members of the team that developed #Mosaic. He played a crucial role in designing the browser's user interface, which made it easy for non-technical users to navigate the web. Andreessen later co-founded #Netscape, which developed a commercial version of the Mosaic browser. He became a prominent figure in the technology industry as a co-founder and general partner of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.

Despite having a flat share of deals, #female founders represent a bigger portion of the total #venture capital invested in Europe so far this year.

According to PitchBook Data, as of the end of February, about €1 $1.1 billion has been invested in 269 deals featuring businesses founded or cofounded by women. This accounts for 19.4% of all startup money invested in Europe and 24.4% of all deals.

While female-only founded #startups still get a small portion of total VC funding, their share is increasing. They represented 0.9% of all capital invested in 2022, but this year’s proportion has increased to 1.6%. 

Way to go!
