Four years ago, this piece inspired me to write a blog post titled "The Stromberg Minset: On Germany's Geopolitical Delusion"

Can I share a screenshot of your comment directly in the blog post? I think it would help the few users that stumble upon this post :)

Seems like an interesting product that we might start using for our incubated portfolio companies. Anyone have experience with it?
