Why Greece is a great place to start a company

Greece is all risk and downside, zero startup culture, no professional services, expensive capital, and not actually terribly cheap.
Greece has high unemployment, undeniably, but also has both high costs and high risk, and a really small technical workforce. That's not great for a startup.
I don't disagree that if I were Greek and in Greece, a startup would be a lot more attractive than remaining unemployed or trying to get a government job, but it's inaccurate and unhelpful to say Greece is objectively a good place to do startups vs. practically anywhere else. One of the keys to doing a startup successfully is to be honest with yourself about unpleasant things.
