Introduction

This week I was traveling in San Francisco again and stopped by Yahoo’s Brickhouse. After some meetings, I found out a number of entrepreneurs who are touring Silicon Valley were stopping by. I stayed for their presentation and then grabbed a few of them for a quick interview. It was interesting to get their take on both what they’d add to Ireland’s startup ecosystem. It also wasn’t surprising but a good reminder how far the US has to go hearing their reflections on how bad broadband and mobile communications are here.

Q. Why do Irish VC's do two lots of due dilligence?

 

A. To be sure, to be sure?

LOL!
 

Consider where Ireland was 15 years ago. Kind of incredible what they have achieved.
