Did anything come from the traffic? As in customers or opportunities?

Interesting reply to A16Z's blog from last year.

There was a good exhibition a few years ago at the naval museum in Greenwich. They also made use of the diaries. Your website has proven a great follow up, thank you.

Might be interesting too even if not a documentary: https://www.penguin.co.uk/authors/285264/dipo-faloyin - I just read this, and very interesting regarding current culture (author is of Nigerian heritage)

I don't see that this is necessarily a critique of accelerators, seems to focus mostly in a rather ephemeral way on ODX.

That is only mentioned in the second article.

Rather the vagueness reflects an interest in exploring solutions. That's normally what blogs / essays are like aren't they?

How does this compare to the Oxford/AZ vaccine?

Isn't there a whole community dedicated to this: indiehackers.com

+1 for spotting a problem. One comment I would have is that for our sales team it is particularly useful if it is mobile or at least mobile friendly.

And their closest trading neighbor Benin.

And Apple Pay.

No that’s the opposite of what I was saying. It is OP who suggested this. I agree of course free health etc. does not make me do a startup. Otherwise many more would exist in the Nordics.

But yet somehow Europe is a wasteland by comparison to the States for startups. In many, particularly, Northern European countries health care and college is the norm, even if UBI is further off, there are many subsidies and benefits one can have.

It is the desire, hunger, and unmet needs that creates many startups.

I thought that was going to be the conclusion of the piece.

Yes true, misread your comment.

Although I understand what you are trying to say, that is not accurate by a long shot:

Nonetheless, the hypocrisy of Dyson supporting Brexit and then setting up in Singapore is not lost.

So far so good for us, but that's why we pay our accountant! We'll see what happens end of next year.

If you have questions drop me a line.

I think it depends what city you are in, we have not found any problems in Southern Spain, but I cannot speak for elsewhere.

For work we find the technology community more diverse and deeper. Also for internationals choosing to move to somewhere attractive Spain offers a great balance of lifestyle and work. I would argue Lisbon is sort of the exception in Portugal; and even then it is a bit limited with no real domestic scene more people seeking low cost or nearshoring.

You could say all of this and more of a number of Spanish cities: Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, and Seville.

International cities, thriving technology hubs, connected airports, visa issues really are not a big issue. We have a completely international team based in our Spain office.

Spain offers you a mixture of international cities, and technology hubs. There will never be another "Silicon Valley", but as an alternative where you can find stimulating and rewarding work, I'd argue it's better than Portugal.

This is why I stopped reading The Economist years ago. The lack of byline in my opinion allows that type of sloppy writing.

I believe this is the core concern with all 'sharing economy' services, including Airbnb and Uber (which takes cash in some markets).

Does it not depend on the canton?

Sadly not, I used the link to save readers the hassle. But that's a good idea!!

So a social network for Chinese painters?

The market would seem to be confirmed by the existence of the startup. Also as others may have mentioned the difference between an oil painting and a digital reproduction is quite large.

What other verticals do you think you’ll expand into?

In Western Europe socialism doesn't seem to uniformly create a negative reaction. After all Francois Hollande, President of the French Republic is a member of the Socialist Party.

If you go further east in Europe though both Brutalism and Socialism are scorned.

Perhaps when young Americans talk about socialism they don't really mean socialism in the Marxist sense, but rather a mixed economy somewhere in between the USA and France?

I'm also curious to try it out... I spend all day searching for emails.
