LinkedIn exchange about European entrepreneurship
Europeans are not hungry enough, don't want success and are not prepared to take the risks, claimed a panel of European VCs and entrepreneurs.


fCh:   "Europeans are not hungry enough, don't want success and are not prepared to take the risks, claimed a panel of European VCs and entrepreneurs."

Since when is hunger a virtue that's somehow leading to more entrepreneurship? Ask some African country, or the state of... West Virginia. Outside few places in the US, in which the mix of nationalities is anyway as diverse as you'd find in any international airport, where else do you see people taking the risks we like to call entrepreneurial?

At the end of the day, I'd redirect the question back to the European panel, What are the risks they've undertaken?

BTW, risk is actuarial, uncertainty is entrepreneurial.
