Paul Murphy, Lightspeed: From American founder to European investor

Paul Murphy, partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, talks to Dealroom.co founder and CEO Yoram Wijngaarde about the firm's distinctive approach to early-stage investing in Europe and the structural challenges facing the continent's startup ecosystem. Speaking from Italian Tech Week, Murphy examines why Italy—despite producing successful companies and emigrated founders—remains relatively isolated compared to other European tech hubs, and how initiatives like EU Inc could address persistent regulatory fragmentation and the general operational friction European founders face every day. 00:00 Introduction at Italian Tech Week 00:26 Lightspeed's approach to events and small team strategy 00:56 Italian startup ecosystem and founder emigration patterns 02:37 EU Inc initiative and regulatory complexity in Europe 03:45 Paul Murphy's career journey from Microsoft to venture capital 05:15 Lightspeed's early stage investment strategy and power law performance 07:43 Enterprise infrastructure focus and building technical founder relationships 08:46 Personal crypto investing and learning through fund exposure 09:59 Enterprise security challenges and data sovereignty concerns
