International founders who brought tech culture home and made it their own

Excellent article. Having lived in the Czech Republic for 6 years I agree with Ondrej that Prague is awesome. And I agree it's important for founders coming here to focus on their greatest strengths. The Czechs are super creative and outstanding at engineering. And Rami's right--Finns know how to build. I've worked with many Mexicans and Peruvians--very hard workers who create a great esprit de corps.

I am thrilled to learn even more on starup scenes outside SV and the outcomes when heading home full of thoughts.

It would be cool if other non-Silicon Valley founders from the HN community share their thoughts on this.

Could be interesting to hear the reverse influence as well, to which extend these founders do affect SV.

So interesting to find similarities with non-Silicon Valley founders worldwide.
