It happens in Europe wherever there's a startup city. The author is based in Berlin like myself, and this city has a fairly new and growing startup scene. I have many friends working across different startups, and "Crunch Mode" is definitely happening around the place. You notice it second-hand when your friends don't come out on the weekend with you because they're so exhausted they need to rest, or they're still at the office.
