There should be more stimuli on universities helping young people with setting up their own business. I for one never had any (useful) advice in this area.

One year of Math ! Math are here to stay, but as the guy from Yahoo said know you have to deal withe the people inside ;-) Nice post too. I surely agree on the math thing.

Not many people want to deal with the nightmare of European language and culture differences.. So we'd be stupid if we didn't focus on the US or UK first :-) There are quite a lot of European startups but they blend in with US companies very well.

The EU is now a homogenous economic market but far from homogenous in terms of language and culture (a good thing generally, just not for startups!) The second is that the "celebrate failure" attitude is certainly not present in most of europe....at least not in the little island i'm from. Failure can be the end of your career. Thankfully thats not the case in the SF bay area....and thats why I'm likely to leave my cushy 9-5 and try it out.
