About

Alan Poensgen stands out as Antler's most visible thought leader on European tech cycles, authoring Fortune commentary that argues Europe's tech winter will create resilient founders from unicorns and scaleups rather than traditional backgrounds. He hosts the monthly "12 MINUTES with Antler Founders" interview series and consistently appears across major publications to interpret founder data and challenge narratives about European founder ambition compared to U.S. counterparts.
