Startup Founders - America Wants You!

StartupVisa is encouraging Congress to implement Paul Graham's vision of a new class of visa for startup founders. http://2gov.org/visa The biggest constraint on the number of new startups that get created in the US is not tax policy or employment law or even Sarbanes-Oxley. It's that we won't let the people who want to start them into the country. Letting just 10,000 startup founders into the country each year could have a visible effect on the economy. If we assume 4 people per start… Continue

A fresh Italian tech scene emerges over wine and pizza

Italy, like a few other European countries, is way behind in the construction and creation of a “tech startup scene”. That being said, as of last Saturday there was almost no scene in Italy.
