tech povera

Hi world. I am a 32-year-old entrepreneur living in Europe. The title "tech povera" was inspired by the art movement called "arte povera" back in the late 60’s. Reading the term in wikipedia reveals:

They [Artists] were working in radically new ways, breaking with the past and entering a challenging dialogue with trends in Europe and America. The artists would use any medium they could get for free or very, very cheap



This is exactly how I feel. Being an aspiring web entrepreneur, but living outside Silicon Valley (in Europe), where innovation or even risk taking is dealt in a completely different manner, I often find myself using any medium I can get for free or very, very cheap...
