What would we need to create one?
- zinssmeister 15y agoI think the most critical step towards success of such a thing is getting a few bigger companies in each of the startup areas to offer exclusive intern/entry/mid-level positions to these kinds of people.
- plastics 15y agoI guess a lot of hacker news reader work in said startup areas. So is anybody willing to give it a shot? I am located in Munich, Germany, not exactly a startup hup, but I have some connections to Berlin and would be willing to annoy my contacts there until they agree. Also should the plans for my own company work out in the next months, I would be willing to offer exclusive intern/entry/mid-level positions.
- eru 15y agoI'm in Cambridge, UK, but come from Germany and have seen the Walz. I'd be interested.
- plastics 15y agoOk, I will start to pitch the idea to the best of my abilities and will let you know what came out of it. :)
- zinssmeister 15y agoI was born and raised in Germany as well but am now in Dallas getting ready to move to Palo Alto. Besides this digital Walz it might also be interesting to start a small network for "Global German Tech Talent" or something. I know there are a few germans in the Valley.
- eru 15y agoThat might actually work in practice. But in principle selecting on the basis of nationality always sounds silly to me. (But I guess I'm just being a good German here. Where not even our President is a patriot.)
