My purpose is to compare the differences in tech startup environments across Europe. I have conducted some quantitative research but was wondering if you can provide some subjective insight on the startup scene in your region.

I only have two questions and you can write as much or as little as you like. Your responses may be kept anonymous and confidential if you wish.

Question 1:

How entrepreneurial do you consider yourself? Your peers? Your area in general? How do you think it compares to US, rest of EU, UK?

Question 2:

Do you feel you have enough local resources to start your business? What are they? E.g. News sites, blogs, groups, VCs. How adequate are they? How easy is it for a startup?

Thank you for your time and answers. Please let me know if you would like to receive the results of my research. Thank you.
