		<description>Hi Mike,

I guess the real point is reflected in the capital efficiency of European start-ups versus their US counterparts.
It would seem that on average, European exits require but 60% of VC backing to build the same value companies – something to further investigate!

		<description>Well said that Butcher!  Excellent post.

The &#039;European [entrepreneurs] have two hour lunches&#039; point which emanated from Le Web does not match any of my experience of successful startups across Europe in the last 10+ years. 

Perhaps those people who don&#039;t have time for two hour lunches also don&#039;t have time for 2 day conferences in Paris?! Ouch...</description>

		<description>&gt;Yes, in France it still costs 10,000 Euros and 6
&gt;months of red tape to start a company
&gt;

&gt;&gt;In Portugal, the West Coast of Europe, halfway
&gt;&gt; between the US and the whole of Europe, you just
&gt;&gt;need 5000 € and it takes on average 45 min.

In Ireland - you need €100 and an online submission form.</description>

		<description>A great speech Michael! And a great post.

I&#039;m kind of bored with the (foremost US) perception of startups in the world. So many great startups are built everywhere, but money still tends to be less fluid.

I responded to this in my blog:

		<description>Hi Mike, this is a brilliant post. 

Im glad you have written about the great things that are happening.

I have no doubt there is innovation and great start-ups across the whole of Europe.

I think that it will take us time because of the seperation and language variations but I think there is a powerful network being built here, working on areas we are stong at, as you mentioned. People are starting to lead and not just follow.

I hope your reporting can help the best businesses succeed.</description>
