I dealt with a fair number of founders thanks to my job & I've found that it comes down to personality more than nationality.

Trust me - you get French A-holes and you get Swedish A-holes.

What I have noticed though is that Nordic founders are really difficult to contact. I'm in a privileged position in that they don't have much of a choice - they're required to respond to me. Yet sometimes its difficult...Spanish and Nordic in particular.

Spanish? I'm not Spanish, but culturally close, so I'm surprised. What do you mean by "difficult to contact"? They won't answer your emails/take your calls?

>They won't answer your emails/take your calls?

Long list of issues. My personal favourite being "this line does not accept incoming calls". Mails being ignored. Or they pass it off to some random other person. Or they just tell you they don't have time.
