🔥 SEO is dead. Long live GEO. 🚀 A fascinating new Semrush study (based on 150k+ AI citations!) just dropped, revealing exactly where LLMs are pulling their answers from. This is HUGE for anyone thinking about visibility in the AI era! Here’s the breakdown: ➡️ Reddit, Inc.
🇦🇹 Looking to raise capital in Austria? Here's your cheat sheet. Austria's angel ecosystem is more active than most founders think. Between angel collectives, family offices, and funds — there's serious early-stage capital ready to deploy.
Vienna has produced unicorns and scaleups like Bitpanda, GoStudent, Tricentis, waterdrop®, Storebox • Urban Logistics, refurbed, NEOH & PlanRadar 🇦🇹 But the next wave is already being built.
