One of the big mistakes startups here in the Netherlands (and the rest of europe)make is that the try to copy the Silicon Valley eco system, which will not work here. For a hole lot of reasons like history, culturel difference, political system etc.<p>For instance, one mistake a lot of startups make is offering Dutch people shares while their productivity wont be higher. Giving them a higher salary or more freedom on where and when they work motivates them much more and is often enough reason to leave a big boring corp.<p>It's true that there is less money here then in SV but it doesn't mean there are no jobs. But most of these job postings won't be on a site like the above. I even think the problem here is more on the supply side and not demand. I can name a few startups that are looking for talent right now, including us, willing to pay a great salary but simple can't find the right talent. Take a look at the type of open positions, cto, technical co founder, developer intern etc. I think that's the biggest problem we have to solve here first...
