In reply to Harold Jarche » A few good books. Starting a business
This is an interesting post and it highlights one of the reasons I returned to my country of birth.

However, I need to return to Europe. Apparently the rules have changed for technology companies - "you put in a dollar, we put in a dollar" - this was the response I got from IRAP. In fact the rep I spoke to actually said "If you can raise $200k we would match that to help you build a development team."

My one question is going to seem rather obvious - how did he expect me to raise $200k? I can’t even find a job :)
