Hi all, I'm the author of the article which was a 750-word cut down version of the presentation I did at Slush and the subsequent blog post I wrote: http://christianhern.tumblr.com/post/67066816410/why-i-am-long-on-europe-madeineu http://christianhern.tumblr.com/post/67066816410/why-i-am-lo... Agree with some of the comments below that it was short, generic and "mass market". The thread below was (and is) the only intent of the presentation, blog post and subsequent article... to make this a topic for debate. -Do I believe a European startup can compete with an American startup Day 1: YES -Do we have the same level of ambition: Sometimes -Do "we" (VCs, Angels): take as risky bets?: NO -Is entrepreneurship the best way for Europe to grow and Europeans to thrive: YES! Judge me on my actions not my words (which, fair enough will take some time to prove). (and the role of government and hubs is for another time... different mutator which varies greatly across Europe)
