What do you mean exactly?

  Working for a small European startup sucks. The company will ALWAYS find a way to shift the blame when something like this happens, not to mention every EU startup I've worked for gets away with late payments and shady financial moves (the worst offender was a German company I worked for early in my career).

    > Working for a small European startup sucks. The company will ALWAYS find a way to shift the blame Start-ups across ~50 countries? Always doing the same thing? I think you may be generalising quite a bit... It's not like an SV company would ever shift blame on the customer, right? :-)

    Yes, “European Startup” is one big homogenous thing, and not 30+ countries and half a billion people in population.

      The EU makes a big effort to harmonize law across countries, so there might be some sense to talk about European startup scene. Though, of course German-speaking countries scene would have its own different as Germany itself.

      This line of thinking would lead to the of near-enough every interesting discussion. A certain amount of generalisation is required for discussions of these sorts.

    Late payment is not limited to European startups. Even large European companies do it. My personal undersampled data indicates a negative correlation between latitude and days until payment. South of 45 degrees, expect 180 days regardless of terms.
