Before moving into investing, he led engineering teams as CTO at Product Hunt and AngelList. He believes Europe can be the best place on earth to build hardware. Beyond funding radical founders, Andreas builds community through his YouTube channel and pushes ecosystem initiatives like the policy movement EU-INC and the robotics network ESRA. His talks often explore whether European regulation acts as a barrier or a hidden competitive advantage. ## Past Sessions ### World Congress 2026 Europe 路 July 8, 2026 Berlin, Germany - [Europe's Regulatory Paradox: Burden, Barrier or Competitive Advantage?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100347-europe-s-regulatory-paradox-burden-barrier-or-competitive-advantage) 路 30 min 路 馃帴 Watch recording ## Videos - [Europe's Regulatory Paradox: Burden, Barrier or Competitive Advantage?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100347-europe-s-regulatory-paradox-burden-barrier-or-competitive-advantage) 路 Andreas Klinger, Jakobus Schuster, Thomas Eriksson, Katharina Schneeberg ## Coffee With Developers - [Of San Francisco and Cleaning Pipes with Andreas Klinger, VP Engineer at CoinList](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100359-of-san-francisco-and-cleaning-pipes-with-andreas-klinger-vp-engineer-at-coinlist) 路 Andreas Klinger, Thomas Pamminger
