Make a high-tech company in Italy Italy

On this subject I think I can give some ideas, since that is what I have done in recent years as work. Ovviamenete I rely on my point of view, and do not really have any claim to generality. E' attualmente l'unico che posso offire.

Allora, diciamo che sei un giovane studente, magari stai facendo un dottorato di ricerca o un contratto di qualche tipo con l'università.

Molte persone parlano di innovazione, di come non ci siano imprese che vogliano innovare, di come l'Italia vada male come paese perchè manca la ricerca e l'innovazione. E tu, che sei bravo e appassionato di tecnologia, ti dici che tu la tecnologia innovativa la conosci.

Molti spiegano che è colpa dei giovani, che non hanno voglia di rischiare, di mettersi in discussione, di provare strade nuove. E tu, giovane e idealista, ti senti chiamato in causa, ti sembra di non stare facendo abbastanza.

Leggi Then the reports of new births in other countries on technology projects, which generated employment and wealth. And you say that, after all, you're no worse off, you've known to those of other countries and did you consider these genes.

Well, believe him. And maybe waste a more or less safe, or a possible academic career, and you sit in your head that you want to become an entrepreneur. We are risks in all of your savings, and feel.

Then you find some little funny things.

The first is that in Italy no one appreciates innovation. First of all do not understand why (in the literal sense of the word: we are a country with an ignorance of the third world), then why are convinti che non gli serva, e che tanto i soldi li fanno in altri modi.

La seconda è che in Italia non esiste il capitale di rischio per l'innovazione. Nessuno ci mette soldi nella tua azienda, a patto che tu non sia un figlio di papà straraccomandato. Insomma, se non hai soldi nessuno ti da soldi. Molto meglio fare palazzi.

La terza è che tutti quelli che ti hanno parlato di fare innovazione sono in posti superprotetti e superblindati, dentro nicchie di mercato in cui tu non potresti entrare mai. Con stipendi e pensioni garantite, e diritti inalienalibili. E questa è una botta che fa' piuttosto male, perchè ti senti un fesso che ha provato a salvare il mondo, seguendo il grido "Armiamoci e partite" e tu sei party.

The fourth is that Italy has no culture of how to make the high-tech companies, and you are using to understand it. Sure, there are talented entrepreneurs who have been successful, but there was no common culture or models on how to do these things. Are you that you have to go find them and find out.

The fifth is that even your knowledge, the one from which you started to do business, it is often unusable. Because those who taught you had no familiarity with the practice by which that theory is derived. So you have to find out what is the practice, see if the theory is adequate and appropriate to modify it to Rendel.

The sixth (and last) is that Italy is not ready to address the key feature of an innovative company: the failure. The high tech companies are naturally more prone to failure than others pity that in Italy the law on bankruptcy is still at the time of the "brick and bolt." The result is that in addition to having thrown overboard your "golden years", is likely to spend the rest of life to pay the debts that you did.

But there are other ways, these fortunately most fun.

The first is that you can make something true. True in the sense that there is a project that is used to obtain financing; true in the sense that it is not an article about a futile search for a career to be published. True in the sense that you've accomplished something that someone finds it useful, and uses it at work every day to improve their craft.

The second is that after all you can do the same things they do in other countries. There is a big difference to work in Italy or the United States (at least, if developments in open source software). And you discover that you are worse than others, and indeed can even be better.

This discovery, for me, was exciting. It is perhaps the only reason I still want to keep doing this work.
