London‑based European Technology Network (ETN) has closed a $1.6 million seed round and will now broadcast five days a week, giving the continent’s fast‑moving startup ecosystem a dedicated media stage.

Key Takeaways

  • ETN raised $1.6 M from Powerhouse Capital, Axel Springer SE, LadBible, and OpenAI/DeepMind angels
  • Moves into a large Kings Cross studio, expands team, and launches a five‑day‑a‑week live show
  • Already over 5 M views, with interviews of top investors and former UK PM Rishi Sunak

Rapid Growth of ETN

The European Technology Network (ETN) debuted in October 2023 with a two‑day‑a‑week live stream that quickly amassed more than 5 million views on X and YouTube. Starting June 27, the network will broadcast five days a week from a new studio in Kings Cross, the hub of London’s AI startups.

New Funding Fuels Expansion

Backed by Powerhouse Capital, Axel Springer SE (owner of Business Insider and Politico), LadBible, and angel investors from OpenAI and DeepMind, ETN secured a $1.6 million seed round. The capital will grow the eight‑person team, launch a newsletter, and support the expanded live‑show schedule.

Historical Background

Europe’s tech media lagged behind its rapid‑growth ecosystem. In 2023, London startups raised $14.7 billion, yet traditional outlets struggled to keep pace. ETN was created to fill that “pace” gap, offering a fast‑moving platform for news, funding announcements, and policy debates.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that a dedicated European tech‑media outlet can accelerate capital flow, attract global talent, and create a unified narrative for over 40 countries, thereby strengthening Europe’s position as a tech superpower.

“ETN provides Europe’s high‑velocity startup ecosystem with a coherent stage, fast‑tracking dialogue between investors and policymakers.” – Dr. Anjali Ratha, Tech Economics Analyst
Did You Know?: Europe speaks more than 200 languages, yet ETN has already produced content in 12 different languages.
