all of the business definitions for "startup" i see don't restrict the definition to any specific field. just because we talk about tech startups here to the point where it is implied doesn't mean that CNN money also implies "tech startup" when they say "startup".
Still, it's not a bad list. I wonder how much money you have to have to start a Danish company though. Places like Italy and Austria are nowhere near the cheap fees that exist in the US.
Edit: Georgia?!? Might be ok in terms of regulations, but has a significant "being blown up by the Russians" risk factor.
