They want to raise 3 billions in 3 years to build a Cloud from scratch and with no real USP. What a joke. This guy probably think that you can throw money at a hard problem and it will fix itself by magic. Building the tech that power a cloud service at hyper scale is no small feat. You can have all the money in the world, building a team that can do that is hard and will take time. It's not like he can install OpenStack and be done with it. Also, as others have pointed out, real EU competition exists and most are already on a path to sustainable computing (disclaimer: I work for a EU cloud provider on Sustainability topics).

I can't name any big EU cloud providers, but I imagine that a large chunk of that 3 Billion will be spent on marketing so people will have heard of evroc in a few years.
- mongol 3y agoThere is a USP and it is very strong. If you are a government organisation, you don't have many clouds to chose from, given the legislative situation. It is a greenfield basically. I am surprised not more people have seen it.
