  "account": "Michelle Cotter, a former employee of Legora and Revolut, is on a mission to build a \"decacorn\" in the legaltech industry. To keep her sharp and focused, she's taken a rather unconventional approach - purchasing a typewriter to compose quarterly updates for her investors. Éanna Kelly, a contributing editor at Sifted, covers startup life and recently penned an article about working in Europe's most dynamic startups, highlighting the challenges and grueling hours that come with building a successful business. A renewed online debate about German bureaucracy has sparked criticism of the startup scene, with many arguing that \"things need to change.\" In a tweetstorm, Stripe CEO Patrick Collison shed light on the cumbersome procedures startups must navigate in Germany. This week, Host Freya Pratty and Europe editor Mimi Billing discussed the momentum behind the Nordic tech scene on TechBBQ.",
