Young entrepreneurs are frustrated

“The density of smart people who understand this space is so much higher in San Francisco than it is in London and the opportunities are so much greater. People look slightly ashamed for anyone aiming as big as Google here - there's a feeling that you shouldn't embarrass yourself by trying.“
