Venture Capitalist Harry Stebbings faced a lagging wave in June after calling on European startups to increase our work hours – but now accepts a room for nuance while applying the mantra.
20VC founder, the founder of the firm managing $ 650 million, The founders recommended in LinkedIn Last month, “Silicon Valley and China to compete with the beginnings” week weekly week is required week.
The article went to Stebbings, and the article of China’s 996 business culture “996” in Europe argued.
It is rooted in a sustainable stereotype with the technological and startup scene of Europe lagging Behind the United States and China, which prepares trillion-dollar technological giants and implement long working hours.
The house is the house of the world’s largest technological companies like USA, Meta, Google, Amazon and Apple. House houses like China, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent.
“If you want to become a $ 10 billion company in Europe, you can’t do it against them (silicone valley and China), nine-five, Friday.”

Seven Founders and VCs What was shared because they resisted Push 996 with CNBC.
“Europe’s really need is more hurried, more aggressive financing,” Sarah Wernér, Husmus’s co-founder Sarah Wernér said until then.
Speaking to CNBC, Fallout, Stebbings said that he was not ready for his criticism and the vast majority of people who respond to the original article.
“I think this is everything that is wrong in Europe, it is retracted.” “We are fighting for companies built in the Silicon valley and determine the success of rapid movement, especially in AI.”
He added: “Now and now when you go to China, they immediately work in China, and you want to be a company that is 10 billion in the fight against them, you can’t do it until Monday-Friday.”
‘We have to work harder than ever’
For companies built more important products, Stebbings said that the bar is higher.
“We must work more than ever, because we are working to solve more important problems than ever.”
However, European beginnings are fighting for financing in the growth stage. Atomico’s European Tech province The report of the 2024 report, Europe’s technological beginnings, about $ 375 billion in financing of $ 375 billion in financing, $ 375 billion in investment.
“There are nuans. I don’t tell you to miss you or sit with your friends or family or sit on your desk all day.”

Husmus’ Wernér said that it is necessary to properly capital for European beginnings to work intensively without breaking themselves. “If a team of 10 people turn on to keep up with the starting start of 50 people with 50 people or the Chinese government, the problem is their stamina, it is their cover table.”
However, Stebbings tied it to poor marketing and Europeans said there are no big stock facilities compared to American counterparts. “I do not think that if you do not enter the cash and in terms of work ethics, you can do $ 10 billion and you can work in $ 10 billion and work five days a week, you can destroy yourself.”
Some founders have even been “bad” that they recommended to include rotten slides. “I feel like this makes me feel sick, I plan to divorce when you get married.”
In the Stark Contrast, Americans are better to tell interesting stories when they introduce their work. “I think often in the UK, we decrease in ambitions.”
996 ‘is ignorant’

As a result, Stebbings, 996 admitted that he was joking with the “Marketing facade”, but it was another nuanced picture than he always works.
“I think this (996) is very ignorant.” “If people do not allow people and the gym training, it’s just moronic.”
Stebbings said 100% sacrifice in the first five years, but it does not mean that health, health and family to leave.
“There’s a dynasty. Don’t miss your friends or family or just sit on your desk all day and not completely.
Stebbings himself tries to spend as much time as possible with a patient’s mother, including a marathon walk with him every Sunday. Then it works.
However, it is unrealistic to expect employees to accept the same attitude.
“One of the most difficult things about a company’s work, you will not find someone who cares about it, the founder … I think it is foolish to wait for you to work as hard.”
Balderton Capital’s general partner Suranga Chandratillake, previously noted that the technology industry focuses on “more work than smart work than smart work” in the technology industry. “
He said: “California stories are very good in telling and are very miffin around the concept of beginners.”
Stebbbings now agree with this review and said that hustle culture is “extremely glamoamed” in the states.
“As we see in the media, we are also working in the San Francisco, it is so true, and they are truthful, and they are always truthful.”
