European Technology Network Secures $1.6M Seed Round, Expands Live Show Schedule
The European Technology Network (ETN), founded by Luke Knight and Ronan Chambers in London last October, has secured a $1.6 million seed round from investors including Powerhouse Capital, Axel Springer SE, LadBible, and angel investors from OpenAI and DeepMind. The funding will support the network’s expansion into a larger studio space in Kings Cross, team growth, newsletter launch, and an increased live show schedule to five days per week starting June 27. ETN has already become a key platform for European tech startups and high-profile guests such as Sequoia partner George Robson and former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The network aims to fill what it calls a “gaping hole” in the fast-moving European tech media landscape, where London-based startups have raised $14.7 billion so far this year. The show generates revenue through advertising and has attracted sponsors like Polymarket, Base, and ElevenLabs. ETN’s format includes live discussions on trending stories followed by guest interviews and plans to include debates, roundtables, and pitching sessions.
