"young entrepreneurs, freed from the prospect of steady, 9-to-5 employment"

That's an interesting choice of words. I know here on HN (and in the $100 startup book) a common theme is "I lost my job, and then tried this cool thing and now I have a modestly successful business" and I'm sure that's worked out for quite a few folk. But I'm also sure a large amount young Latvians would be eager to find steady 9-5 work (locally) and it seems a little bit cheeky to use such a euphemism in this context.
