How would you hear of somebody getting these funds? I don’t personally know anybody who’s gotten massive VC funding in the US either, but I think it does happen.

I don’t see any reason to be skeptical of the requirement to find a female co-founder, I mean it is clearly a program to promote equality, but that is an uncontroversial goal in some places.

It is a lot easier to come up with new rules for a project that requires proactively making investments (where it is assumed they will be selective anyway), than it is to convince a country to change their military policy.

		> convince a country to change their military policy Maybe they can't force them but the EU has mechanisms to punish illiberal behavior like the fines they are charging Hungary. They should start fining countries that do make only drafts, at least to start a conversation about it.
