German web entrepreneurs are business focussed, Finnish startup founders are tech driven... They should meet!

Via ReadWriteWeb, I found this very interesting article by MySites founder Ramine Darabiha about the challenges for the Finnish startup ecosystem. Out of the 10 points he mentions, the last was the most surprising one: According too Ramine, the Finnish startup scene is very tech driven and is lacking entrepreneurs with business/management background. 

In my perception that's exactly the opposite of the German startup world, which is dominated by people with a clear business focus, and which could be one reason for the lack of technical innovation and disruptive ideas coming from German web services. 

Counting 1 and 1 together, it's clear what needs to happen: Finnish and German entrepreneurs need to meet and combine their business and tech background. It sounds like a perfect match!

I think both the marketing skills and technology are necessary for a website company. I exactly agree with you. It is really not a rare example.
