This is also my experience. In Denmark they have a startup scene of sorts, but they literally only fund startups that are by the "right" people or are trendy. I never saw anything get funded on merit, just if you are Danish and in particular, if you came from the elite socioeconomic strata. I never saw any interest in if the idea was sound, if the kid applying for the money actually knows anything about it, etc. It always seemed like if you were a rich white guy, they had cash to throw your way. And yes, its 100% a case of winners being picked, which is why almost none of these companies actually works. They think that just because the kid is Danish that the market wants his idea. They are usually wrong. |
