#42HN, keep an eye on italian startup scene, a lot of potential waiting to be discovered...
Lot of potential but little money. "Italian VC investors (I mean the ones based in Italy) are, in general, famously useless at identifying high growth businesses in their own country" Sad but true.
The money is in hiring good hackers at good prices.

#43http://www.magno.me/startup-e-italia-qualcosa-si-inizia-a-mu... Here you can find a quite critical point of view from one of the best italian entrepreneurs and business angel.
Is written in italian for the italians who always criticize the italian venture capitalists, accusing them that they miss some good startups. But venture capitalists in this country are moving and growing, although there are still many gaps about seed capital. Also, the new Italian government has introduced measures to promote venture capital.
By the way, You're hacker enough to translate this post!

#45Interesting that things are actually happening outside of SV. Speaking of that, is there a startup scene in Scandinavia? Anyone know?
Yes! There's even a whole site devoted to the startup scene in Nordic (and Baltic) countries: http://www.arcticstartup.com/
Cool! (heh)
I want to meet local entrepreneurs who are in tune with the HN ethos, but it's really hard sometimes in Jante country :)
