compared to Israel, yeah UK tech scene seems to be underperforming. there's massive technical talent in the uk, favorable laws and common language with the us. I think what let's the uk down, is a lot of places lose focus, talent is lost to consulting shops, bureaucracy slows a lot of things down. a counter point is look at game studios - uk seems to be delivering there. it's just other products where uk is underperforming. uk i.e london should be ahead of places like austin in terms of # of startups
