2020 has been a special and weird year by all means. As you are reading this, I am attending the wedding of one of my best friends on Zoom... Coldly distanced from each other, we were all Edward Hopper paintings this year. This pandemic has given Hopper's exceptional work a terrifying new significance.
But I am very excited about 2021. Of course, there is the roll-out of the vaccine at 'warp speed' - We are witnessing innovation like never before... I can't wait to see the smiling faces of people when they can meet with their friends 'freely' again, or just hang out in a bar...
In particular, I am excited about the big opportunities that await many of our portfolio companies. One of the big news of 2020 is that we now have our 4th unicorn, another one we backed at the seed stage. But, I am especially proud of our seed-stage companies that did not have the cash resources to navigate easily such a crazy period. Most of our early-stage investments have developed exceptionally well this year and will raise their next rounds in 2021. One word comes to mind: Grit. Here a letter I got from one of our CEOs. I think it illustrates this mindset well. So, let's all make sure we build a great story in 2021.
Looking back, 2020 was also the year where we published far more posts than ever before, 2 per month on average with 100k readers since March 2020, up from only 10k last year. This makes Opportunities Everywhere one of Europe's most popular VC blogs. Let's have a look at the content that caught the attention of most readers.
Here are our most popular posts of 2020.Thanks so much for reading and sharing. I could not be more grateful for your support. We will continue to publish insights on European tech in 2021.
I am spending NYE with some good friends I haven't seen in a long time in a sunny 'Covid green' zone. I feel refreshed, relaxed, and very ready for an explosive 2021.
A Happy New Year to everyone!
Life is awesome,
Yannick
Tried it last night and LOVED IT! Won a small tournament and the dealer shouted me out in Portuguese 😎 The stream quality was flawless, and the other players were super friendly. Parimatch’s poker setup feels legit—way better than the bots I’ve dealt with elsewhere. Already hooked—thanks for the killer recommendation!
Parimatch’s Brazilian Poker tables are exactly what you need! 🃏 They’ve got live dealers who speak Portuguese, tables decked out in carnival themes, and a super interactive chat that makes you feel like you’re at a real casino in Rio. The low-stakes games start at R$5, perfect for casual play, and the daily tournaments have prize pools that get surprisingly juicy.
I’ve been playing there for months—the HD streams never lag, and the dealers crack jokes while explaining strategies. Withdrawals hit my account faster than any other site I’ve tried, and their 24/7 support actually knows poker, not just scripts. Check it out there . Let me know if you join a tournament… the energy there is electric!
Hello. I want to find a live poker site with Brazilian tables and real dealers. Want something social with local vibes and maybe low-stakes games. Any recommendations? Prefer a trustworthy platform with good streaming quality!
