I think every country has its own issues, good and bad. what is important is not try to do “cut&paste” from Silicon Valley #StartupUSA— pablobrenner (@pablobrenner) March 9, 2016
also important is to have patience, you don’t build an ecosystem in 3 years…. #StartupUSA— pablobrenner (@pablobrenner) March 9, 2016
each country need to understand what are the advantages/disadvantages it has, for instance in Israel back in the 90´s …. #StartupUSA— pablobrenner (@pablobrenner) March 9, 2016
… we had great communications technology, and lots of flexibility, which was very important for a nascent market like networking #StartupUSA— pablobrenner (@pablobrenner) March 9, 2016
this was the time when first routers appeared, first Wifi, etc. But when Wifi got comoditized, we were in disadvantage vs taiwan #StartupUSA— pablobrenner (@pablobrenner) March 9, 2016
is clear that India has some very strong advantages: Great engineers, lots of people, big internal markets #StartupUSA— pablobrenner (@pablobrenner) March 9, 2016
but anyhow Im not a strong believer in somebody from the upside defining what to do, this is the role of entrepreneurs #StartupUSA— pablobrenner (@pablobrenner) March 9, 2016
It is the entrepreneurs who need to understand these advantages and match them with opportunities #StartupUSA— pablobrenner (@pablobrenner) March 9, 2016
Also a great advantage that India has is the strong diaspora, lots of Indian engineers in leading positions in us companies #StartupUSA— pablobrenner (@pablobrenner) March 9, 2016
as an example, 1 of the first US companies to install a development center in israel in the 70s was Intel (thanks to an israeli) #StartupUSA— pablobrenner (@pablobrenner) March 9, 2016
