I am in the process of trying to understand how businesses work and I have been comparing the realities of starting and running companies in various european countries. Most of the information that I can find is very surface level so thanks for sharing anything that people should be aware of.
A community/forum/subreddit focused on this does not seem to exist. I guess professionals are too busy.
I was also surprised to not see much discourse over Section 174 recently.
But getting back to the point, europe needs to decide if it wants to be relevant or not in the future. As an italian currently living in my country, I can say that doing business here looks like insanity, it's not hyperbole, the environment is as anti-business and innovation as it can be.
HN used to have that but most YC founders migrated to Bookface where there is better moderation and less off topic or toxic conversations (just take a look at this entire comment section)
Also Section 174, while annoying, isn't the end of the world for most founders, and there is bipartisan support for a repeal of it.
> understand how businesses work
You can only learn by doing. Start your own company or land a BizOps related role, but honestly, it's probably easier to make the classic Italy-to-London move
