Germans don’t do tech startups – more access to capital might change that

That’s very presumptuous, there is loads of US people in Europe too...

And you could argue if Google was startup back then or not. I would say not.

What about Amazon? And eBay? And Yahoo?

Lots of US people in Europe, true. Doing software? I really really doubt it. Or they left for personal motivations.

Leaving US for a developer is like leaving Ferrari for an automobile engineer. You can't top that. Anything else is a step backwards in terms of technology, unless you go to work for some institution - I see the university of Zürich is really advanced, for example.

Also, the topic was about innovation, capital, etc. I would prefer not to go too much off topic.
