No, Germany should be actually.
- david927 18y agoI agree. Germany has the best scene. Someone should organize something in Berlin.
- danw 18y agoThere is an already thriving network of events in Berlin
- dchest 18y agoSomeone should organize something somewhere.
- nihilocrat 18y agoDoesn't really have to do with startups, but GC Leipzig is a big gaming conference, sort of like Euro E3.
- gaius 18y agoIt's very difficult to start a company in Germany. You need X amount of capital and masses of paperwork, etc. Talinn in Estonia should probably be the European startup capital.
- prakash 18y agosort of explains why skype was started there.
- danw 18y agoWhat's the Talinn scene like? What are the main meetup groups & events to go to for a visitor to meet local devs & startups?
- markessien 18y agoJust like Delaware is the startup capital of the U.S, ya?
- gaius 18y agoThe analogy doesn't hold because there isn't a coherent legal system or common language (tho' in practice everyone speaks English) across Europe. Incorporating in Estonia and doing all your business in Germany isn't nearly as straightforward as Calfornia/Delaware.
- Tichy 18y agoI don't think that is true anymore. The classic "GmbH" was comparatively expensive, but I think they now made a cheaper version. Also, you can choose any other "company model" from any other european country, british Ltd. being the most popular. I haven't founded myself yet, though, so I can't say for sure... paperwork: I think once you have a business, your tax declaration becomes more complicated, you might be obliged to have a professional tax advisor. What else is there to do/pay?
