Both as the CEO of Result and as the President of the European Tech Tour Association's Web & Mobility Summit, I spend a substantial amount of time looking at new businesses, from ideas to the financing and roll out of successful concepts. Also, I raised capital for a company I founded in 2002, at a time when it was extremely tough to do that. Looking at the economic environment, we now seem to be in a similar situation to the bubble aftermath in 2002/2003. At the same time, however, there seems to be a quantum leap in creativity and the number of new companies springing up.
