“Why San Francisco is the best entrepreneurial ecosystem in the world”

Xavier Damman is a European web entrepreneur, coming from Belgium, who moved to San Francisco to get new support for his projects.

According to him, SF is the best ecosystem you can find in the World.

“A dream for any entrepreneur. You can find free Wifi and power plug in any café or restaurant. Coworking places are blossoming. The best people in their field are available to have a chat with you. Free meetups allow to be informed of state of the art technology, trends or topics. Seeing other entrepreneurs building up their own startup beside you is, on top of it, very stimulating”, says Xavier Damman.

“Europe should be inspired by the SF ecosystem”, he adds in the herebellow video interview.
