A European Perspective on Venture Capital and the Internet
Want to put your startup on the map? Here’s your chance: The two fantastic students working for me (they did all the real work!) decided that my idea of mapping start-ups in flickrvision.com-style could be some fun so we threw a few hours of work at it and here’s the result: www.startupvergnuegen.com
