Interesting post, thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link. Good idea to group the startups by area, this solves the marker overlapping problem. Does it only display the number of startups or can you also list startup details?

What country is that? It's great to know it's useful, there are still a lot of investment funds to be added, so it might be even better than you think. ;) Best of luck with "this whole startup thing" if you decide to try it! :)

:)) Oh no, it's not that smart! :P

I know, you're right, but I thought I'd start with the ones I knew about and then let founders add their own startups to the list.

You're right, Spotify's location was Stockholm, but the map automatically displayed it in Stockholm county. Thanks for noticing this, I'll correct the error.

Yes, it's a problem with the markers overlapping, I'm still looking for a solution to it.

Thanks. I know, but the map is not just about the countries using Euro, it's about all countries within Europe's geographical boundaries.

Oh yes, there are tons, but I thought the YC community is a good place to collect more startup info :)

Thanks, I've taken care of this bug.

True, I used the term loosely, perhaps I should have said "tech companies founded by Europeans"

As some of you have already said it, some cities have a better ecosystem, others have a low cost of living but no ecosystem and crazy bureaucracy, others have low taxes.

The solution is an offshore: you start your company in a low-taxes European country (Cyprus, Bulgaria) or a tax haven, you live close to an ecosystem (near London, for instance) and you hire developers from Eastern Europe (low wages, highly skilled).
