What do you mean when you want to be an entrepreneur? What makes you tick? Do you want to discover talent, help fund ideas, work on the ground level within a company? There are plenty of really useful things that have been built in Europe in and out of tech where you could facilitate in these kinds of roles. I don't see how you can't be an entrepreneur in the EU, unless an entrepreneur to you is to have loads of money and to perform vapid pr stunts for the next fad.

Spotify, Tom Tom, City mapper, runtastic, factorio, World of tanks, transfer wise, todoist, telegram are all examples of businesses which have emerged from the European economic region and the EU itself for example.

Exactly what I've meant: You don't understand how hard and rare it is, so somebody can afford to be an entrepreneur. It isn't about running costs of businesses, but the ability to support yourself and your responsibilities, it is about being able to run your HOME, while you work until your business take off.

Just check the background of the people who founded those companies you enlisted and you will see what I mean. It isn't the average European.

I hate to break it to you, but anyone who starts a business is not the average European anyway.
