Europeans who want to make money have 2 options:
1. US if they want to go the VC/high salary route
2. Asia/LatAm for bootstrapping/indiepreneur route
Europe has become a luxury retirement home.
But it’s not a place to Build.
Unless this changes it will continue to decline.

having lived most of my life in asia and latin america, i’m consistently shocked that americans seem to have this cartoonish perception of foreign cultures based off of stereotypes that were vaguely true 20 years ago

i think it’s also context shift
what felt shallow and corporate back then feels genuine and human by comparison in a world of social media and phone culture

But also:
Skepticism towards motivated wealth accumulation, collectivist shaming of individual achievement, resentment towards business owners, and a workforce that is more frankly more interested in vacation than excellence.
Why on earth would I build my business in Europe?

Super exciting —
User submitted an image of pants generated with Midjourney, and a screenshot of a waistband she liked.
@cavelahq matched the request to a supplier who made it. Photos only. No other info provided.
First instance of AI generated products made at scale.

any idea what prompted the rejection of this more ostentatious aesthetic?
the trend doesn’t seem to be mirrored in other countries — at least not to the same extent
is this just the US’s innate protestant asceticism manifesting itself

First — we built this for brands, not individuals. This was a sample that was based on an AI image the brand submitted.
Yes, they received fabric swatches and mockups along the way.
Once they received the sample, they made some tweaks, and placed an order.

That airlines recommend you show up 3 hours before departure is a massive unchecked global cost that they have offloaded onto broader society to avoid resolving operational inefficiencies

i think gym business economics are based on assumption that 90% of users won’t go
in this context, where 100% of people paying are attending i would suspect hourly pass may have to be closer to $100+
if you factor in people would expect luxury for that price point it gets hairy

(As for the tired stereotypes in the comments about foreign factories being sweatshops — this particular supplier runs a boutique family factory in Mexico and has sourced for respectable brands like Gucci. I know because I know Antonio, the factory owner, well)

Many aspiring brand creators don’t have the knowledge, experience or connections that large brands do.
They don’t have supplier networks, in-house designers or workshops.
I don’t believe those people should be shut out of entrepreneurship, brand ownership, or product creation.

Whether a brand submits a detailed tech pack or an AI-generated image doesn’t matter to us. We meet them where they are.
What matters is opening the door to a new generation of brand owners looking to bring their dreams to life and create products they’re excited about.

as long as the tariff landscape changes as radically as it does now, manufacturing will not return in a significant way to the US
building a factory in the US is too risky for business owners, if tariffs are applied and repealed as liberally as they have been

We help brands realise their product vision, take their product spec and match them with world-class manufacturers around the globe — like the one who made this quilted set — to bring to life.

a global war for talent with no ammo
on what grounds are they imposing these demands?
the uk/europe doesn’t have easy access to capital, lacks the talent pool, and the regulations are prohibitive to business

yes because of how margins work
if it costs $10 to make a shirt that you sell for $100, that’s a 90% margin
if, with tariffs, unit costs go from $10 to $15, and you bump up the price to $105, your margins are now only ~85%
to stay at 90%, the sale price has to go to $150
