      One way to find an idea that will be a massive startup: Find something used by millions of people that everyone hates using. Usually you’ll find a monopoly, rent seeking somehow, often regulatory capture. Find away to end-around that market.

      What's the reason US startups have been so much more successful in overcoming resistance from the captured regulators who protect the incumbents compared to Europe? Is it culture/legal system that favors competition, or more money that has allowed them to expand quicker?

      I think it's largely cultural. American's historically praise rule breakers as 'rebels' who get the job done in a unique and clever way. Our CEOs in innovative areas are like celebrities. Being brash and aggressive is ok and often rewarded.

      European biz culture is more short-sighted and the Euro venture community has little appetite for risk

      In fact Euro "venture capital" is a bit of an oxymoron. They often want unrealistic upside % with no risk and end up damaging the cap table of many startups

      more the sources of capital. Not the same scale of institutional capital that goes into venture like in the United States, supporting the breadth and array of firms we offer. We also have a single consumer market, whereas Europe is Balkanized in both talent & consumer mkts.

          The balkanized talent and consumer markets is big, but you also have balkanized cultures. For instance, here's a classic Norwegian joke: Q: How do you recognize an extroverted Norwegian? A: He's looking at your shoes rather than his.

          However, if the availability of VC, balkanization of culture, talent, and consumers were the main issues, how do you explain Israel? Israel punches way above its weight class, despite being in the center of a war zone. They are known as brash, aggressive, innovative, and no bs.
