- knarf 18y agoI should probably add that in my case all founders would be from outside US! So the problem is not only in getting visas for some of the founders but also incorporating in the US as I figure PG has no interest in 6% of a germany based company. The link I remember contained descriptions of both (visas and incorporating at the same time).
- wheels 18y agoIf you incorporate in the US you'll also need an EU based organization for legal purposes (since you'll have a "Betriebsstätte" in Germany) that can be a subsidiary of a Deleware C-Corp. That's why we decided to incorporate in UK since a Ltd. is a valid legal form EU-wide and leaves all of the incorporation documents in English, which is easier for investors to deal with.
- hooande 18y agoI intentionally didn't name any names, sorry. A lot of startups haven't launched yet and I don't want to out anyone who is in stealth mode.
- knarf 18y agoThought so. But had to try ;) Thanks though. Founders from austria sounds really intersting. Maybe they will read this and can contact me..
- davidw 18y agoLiving in Austria (Innsbruck) myself, I'd be curious to hear about it as well. I miss being able to talk tech with real live people every now and then.
- knarf 18y agoHow's YEurope doing btw? If you're from Innsbruck you might have thought about goin there too..? From what I see on their site it seems rather dead.. :(
- davidw 18y agoI sent in an application for the hell of it, got turned down, and now that you mention it, their site doesn't look all that active.
- knarf 18y agoI didn't like that thing neither. Was a bit too copycat without any innovation. Still it would be good to have s.th. similar in Europe (London,Berlin,Zürich?)
- bluelu 18y agoThere is technoport/luxinnovation/123-gonetworking in Luxembourg, but it's not focused on web startups (they accept startups from all fields). You won't get any money, but they will help you with your business plan, give you access to coaches (lawyers, sale guys, financial people, technical people...), help you create the company or to get european subsidaries, 4 months office location/servers offered for free (internet + work computers included), and much more help. (like funding, business angel connections, etc.) All startups have offices next to each other, allthough the industrial ones are located on another site. The url is http://www.technoport.lu/ http://www.technoport.lu/. You can email me if you want more information. We started there like a month ago, and it has been great so far. One startup that started here was jamendo (http://www.jamendo.com/en/ http://www.jamendo.com/en/).
- knarf 18y agoThanks. Didn't lnow about those.

- wheels 18y agoWhere in Germany are you based? We're going to probably start a small, regular hacker meetup here in Berlin in the next month. Send me a mail (in my profile) and we'll let you know when we start...
