Tech startups in Europe... or the valey VS the rest of the word

Another one bites the dust. Loic Le Meur moves to the valley.

Wednesday, June 13, 2007

A funny thing happened today. Michael Arrington reports that Famous French blogger and entrepreneur Loic Le Meur has decided to move to Silicon Valley for his next venture. Among other reasons for his decision he says:

He also says he likes the acceptance of failure in silicon valley. “If you succeed it’s great, if you fail try again that’s ok, you learned. In Europe it’s usually if you succeed hide and if you fail you suck, so don’t try again,”



You can also check out Scoble’s interview with an Austrian developer saying exactly that.

Although this is also my perception, we have to admit that this is not always true. If you are already a successful entrepreneur (Loic has 4 start-ups already) you are certainly given many second chances!

Good luck to you Loic. I’ll quote your words (according to techcrunch.com): “Silicon valley is the center of Internet innovation”. Europe in tech povera!
