it’s an inconvenient but somehow accepted opinion that society & politics in europe (and Austria probably in particular) don’t really foster entrepreneurship and small-scale business the way they do overseas. YEurope, a (Micro-)Venture Capital firm based in Vienna and launched earlier this week by Paul Böhm (Metalab) is a welcome change. obviously inspired by US-VC Y-Combinator, YEurope is offering small-scale funding to local web/tech-startups. for more info read the controversial at Y-Combinator’s forum or the followup at my not-yet-launched-officially, german-language blog.

update: check out two of the austrian web-apps we’ve seen demos of today, Tupalo (geo-tagged social network) and System One (enterprise-level wiki & collaboration), both unique in their own way.
