That’s a good one Massimo – and it is reflected by the many Italian SME’s who prefer to stay private, thus choosing debt over equity.

earlysun – In Italy there are a lot of – typically unknown – companies that fit my picture. An interesting case is Balsamiq Studios which is having a great success, thanks to a wonderful product named Balsamiq Mockups. Three years ago I set up a company – GotThingsDone.com – to do exactly the same thing I described in the article, but after 2 years I couldn’t find a way to scale the operations in Italy. The business model is simple: make something cool and people will follow you.

David – an interesting “adage” and I must say that in Italy we are pretty much used to speculate; the same is not true for investing. Now, not every company – and moreover not every entrepreneur – is prepared to scale: you must be ready to think big, to make your life complex and to lose control. Scaling is a second move – and we must learn a lot from US ecosystem – and often it means losing your baby. Another “adage” said :”share your debt, not your profit”.
