Ask HN: Why Does the European Tech Industry Have Such a B2B Focus?
Family businesses since markets inception 2k years ago and small-to-medium businesses in the late 20th century were the norm everywhere in Europe, that’s also why the EU started well as a common market. It is going tits up right now exactly because surrendering its roots to the US neo-liberist approach has killed the middle class. Many thousand businesses moving €500k&#x2F;year and using money locally is much better for local communities than 5 unicorns moving €50b&#x2F;year, draining that money out to fiscal havens and employing a few elite thousands people with millions left unemployed and getting more and more angry.
