Hey gamechangr,

here is the list of the just the most famous:

www.startupbootcamp.org www.seedcamp.org www.hackfwd.com www.springboard.com www.theopenfund.com

There is a lot going on in the tech community at the moment in Europe, even though we do not tend to concentrate all that is happening in a few places.

Just to name a few these are all european brewed products:

soundcloud.com soup.io 46elks.com circleme.com newscurve.com blossom.io blog.weavly.com newsgrape.com pocketgui.de txtr.com spreadshirt.net

I am sure you have lots in the states that we don't get to know of too.

I think with all that has been going on historically we tend not to found companies but to do other stuff for fun :)

I think you are reading into my comments. I believe there are many great european products!! I would like to help get the word out that there are good startup incubators in europe.

These are some great links. You lost me on the first couple (startupbootcamp is a two day conference) (seedcamp is a good company,but not a startup incubator)

I had not heard of Hackfwd and springboard. Both look to be the real deal. I'm excited to see innovation in every city and nation.

In America these are a couple of the good ones:

Paul Graham has a strong opinion on the matter of why:

Sorry gamechangr, I think I might have got some links wrong.. This was the program: http://www.seedcamp.com/ :) it is the biggest one in europe at the moment of speaking even though I particularly like the hackfwd philosphy :). If you look at their videos you will get what I mean :)

At Startupbootcamp istead they define themselves as a mentorship based program: http://www.startupbootcamp.org/details/
