The sense I have coming from the UK is that the US tolerates start up failures far better than we do. If you try in the US and fail, the general vibe seems to be one of, "Ok, it went wrong, brush your self down and try again, and make sure you learned the lessons". In the UK, its more like, "you evil failure, you conned every one and we will bankrupt you and stop you trying again".

So, from a UK POV, the caution this article seems to urge, seems more applicable to the UK than the US.

I highlight this because I believe failure is as useful as success, I think there is possibly more to learn from a failure. I almost feel like a few failures are essential so that lessons can be learned, and stronger new start ups emerge with stronger founders. I believe the US is way better at this than the UK, and possibly Europe.

Or perhaps I have too a rosier view of the US in this respect? Dunno.
