As someone trying to break into the startup world, this got me to thinking – as the product of a half-euro, half-american upbringing, I’ve never quite seen a way to exploit my culture/languages knowledge in a meaningful way. Fred (or anyone else) – any ideas on how to do that? Is there opportunity for someone to help draw a closer bridge, so to speak, between the US and European startup communities?

Fred,May I recommend that your embedded links open up new browser tabs as opposed to navigating to that page in the same tab that the AVC Blog is open.Dan

Have a great time. Looking forward to your perspectives. for me some blog advice on whether European startups should even try to access north American markets would be useful.

In reply to JLM. Yep, been living there since 2006... more interestingly saw the whole build up of the financials crisis and the blow up as I used to work for one of the Icelandic Banks, had the experience of starting our banking operations and shutting it down in 2 months in India :)

Fred,You speak of Europe as if it’s a country and not a continent. The landscape across the continent and often very vexing for young entrepreneurs. Too many of he continents governments are still very meddlesome when it comes to entrepreneurial liberty, or young companies find it virtually impossible to get a foothold alongside older companies that are sometimes defacto government operations.

In reply to Carl J. Mistlebauer. Wealth is now defined, in part, by access to technology and parental oversight.The poorest parts of any city have virtually no home technology and Internet access as well as having insufficient parental supervision.The "richest" parts of town have almost unlimited, multi-machine technology and Internet access --- desktops, laptops, iPads and smart phones.In addition, they have parents (sometimes two sets because of divorce) and multiple sets of grandparents who are smart, wealthy and involved.We should tax these blokes out of existence. Ooops, sorry, wrong blog. Smiling.
