Is this really a problem ?
I was under the impression that the vast majority of start-ups 1. fail or 2. require employees to expend huge effort while the lion's share of the revenue gain is made by the C-level officers.
Why would an European labor force want to expose itself to the "start-up" platform ?
- omouse 11y agoThe idea is that you let a million flowers of innovation bloom. You shouldn't need VCs to pursue your ideas and it's usually recommended (Joel Spolsky, Philip Greenspun, Jason Fried and DHH etc. recommend against it). It should be better in Europe because of the safety net and limited work hours; sure it's easier to be comfortable, but it's also easier to take some time off and work on a cool idea that doesn't have to be a revenue generator.
