It would be hard to attract talent in Austria. Brno is real startup hub in that region.

  Brno? Startup hub? A city where no one speaks English and foreigners are treated bad by locals can not be compared to a multi-cultural city as Vienna. I studied in Brno and I have friends working at AT&T and IBM. They even have a ruby group meetup.. But a startup hub??? No.

    It's certainly not a startup hub yet, but you're absolutely wrong about nobody speaking english and foreigners being treated badly by locals. I don't know what problems you had when you were here, but I'd be willing to bet that either you were extremely unlucky and had a couple of really bad experiences (can happen anywhere) or you're overreacting.

      hm, no. Most foreigners I know (and I knew a lot as I happened to organize events among other things) have the exact same view.

        Agree to disagree. But what you describe is absolutely not what me (foreigner) and my foreign friends and colleagues have experienced.

  Agreed! Brno would be an awesome place to make a startup. Cheap, good talent, lovely old town, and near the nature.
