It's certainly great to feel that entrepreneurial energy in the US. So that part is definitely a huge tick. We could certainly learn a lot and get better support for entrepreneurs in Australia. I think a lot of people here are put off by the obstacles, many of which are much easier to overcome in the US. So no question, the entrepreneurial culture in the US is a clear winner!

What it's easy to forget is that most entrepreneurs are just looking for the quick exit to make their money and it will be up to the second round of capital to commercialise the proposition. There is a lot more support for entrepreneurialism in the US than Aus. Good or bad? I agree with you (may be the conservative in me), it makes sense that there needs to be a clear commerical path for the product/process before I invest. It may just be capital looking for a return given the state of the markets? Red or black on the roulette table may be a viable alternative? I’ve had the same observation.
