Like a moth to the light, every startup in the world from Finland to Tel Aviv dreams of making it B.I.G. in the birthplace of the Internet: Silicon Valley. Still, intimidated by the gi-normous success of titles like facebook, google, myspace, twitter, of recent days, many European entrepreneurs feel inadequate to tackle such huge crocodile to wrestle. "Chrysalis Now!" is keynote presentation that I have been delivering across other forums in Europe, some for entrepreneurs, others for VCs, or the EU or universities. It advocates that European entrepreneurs should not only think big and outside of their cocoons, but that they need to start putting action behind those dreams. It provides case studies of success stories and not only that, but very "reboot-style" examples of how others have grasped the challenge with imagination, creativity and positiveness.
