I’d launch my startup in the UK after Brexit because...?
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoYour market is only the UK and you don't want to import any materials, and the UK has all the talent you want, and you're wealthy enough that increased cost of living isn't going to be a huge negative. Otherwise I'd steer well clear.
- TheOtherHobbes 8y agoA lot of talent is leaving the UK. Some of it is moving to Europe. We have government ministers privately talking about “a meltdown” and Tory donors shorting the economy. Too many people under 30 are poor and heavily in debt. Business confidence is low and investment is disappearing. It feels as if Brexit is the UK’s closing down sale. The question is whether the meltdown will be an extended depression, or a Zimbabwe-style total collapse. I don’t think the former is unrealistic, and latter hardly seems impossible.
