I like how the article shows that European startups in cybersecurity have this unique source of funding which are grants and tenders from various entities. If used properly, this could be an unfair advantage for bootstrapping or financial stability through the product-market fit years over startups in other regions. Thanks for sharing Ignacio! Enjoy reading your posts.

Thank you for your comment! Yes, grants can help a startup during the first stage; however, they might also be a bit of a trap, and not that many know how to use them properly to grow.

EU is not the land for cybersecurity startups. Definitely
