I think you’re being too hard on Europe. There are tons of smart people on the Continent working on unique and interesting startup ideas. The only thing Europeans may lack is access to funding and resources.
- 0xfaded 6y agoI think that's exactly it. There are smart people everywhere who want to work on interesting ideas. But they will naturally congregate where the opportunity and resources exist and the bureaucracy doesn't. Fixing Europe isn't about finding smart people to work on things. It's about preventing them from leaving. Ironically Covid might be helping that for a couple years.

There's so much regulation and red tape that one company's 5th employee had to be filling government grants and filing for tax exemptions full time.
