Ask YC: Where do you get international startup news?

32 points·alex_c··14 comments

Techcrunch is great for reading about US companies, and the occasional Canadian/UK/Israeli/German site, but it bugs me that I have no idea what's happening in other large markets like China, India or Russia. Not speaking the respective languages obviously doesn't help. Are there any good resources for English speakers?

Good coverage of European companies

Also http://europeanstartups.com/

http://www.killerstartups.com does cover non-US companies in bursts but they go overboard, imho, with what's considered to be a 'startup' so there is a lot of noise there.

Argentina: http://palermovalley.com/ (but more related to a local event for startups, held about once a month, with many local web 2.0 developers and entrepreneurs).

There are startups in other countries?

Hilarious reply Matt, even more curious though is the fact that you got modded down (what no fanboy idol worship for Mr. Maroon people?)

I'm not surprised. Jokes don't do well here.
