You can find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WFFzl91Lhc In this video, Oussama talks about what it means to build ambitious startups in a toxic ecosystem. Don’t be fooled by the number of accelerators, incubators and other things aiming to help startups across Europe. Today, any entrepreneur from a European country who recognizes the weaknesses and strengths of the local environment can push forward. Don’t just rely on Mashable, TechCrunch or Forbes to give you actionable hints for your own startup. This content can be useful and certainly interesting to read. But we need to filter that information, put it into our context and adapt it to our European reality. In this video, Oussama talks about how you can develop this localization filter that will help you know what to apply to your life and your company, and what isn’t quite yet applicable in Europe. TheFamily nurtures entrepreneurs with education, unfair advantages and capital. TheFamily believes that Europe can create tons of crazy startups, through education. (http://www.thefamily.co/)
