> “The message Europe is sending its entrepreneurs now is: stay at home” As an european, working remotely with various US companies, my response is: Completely not! There is no reason to stay and create IP in Europe right now. At least not in my opinion. Both Asia and the US are better alternatives for starting up than doing so here.

I honestly think that a change in mindset is needed for attracting entrepreneurs or making them stay. This goes from the said entrepreneurs themselves to VCs and whatnot.

If they don't change their methods, I'm afraid in some time, things will start to go downhill for the entrepreneurial environment here.
