What Pieter Levels actually said

  1. Pieter Levels Dutch bootstrapper who builds and runs his internet startups alone
    In most of the world there is: no real willingness to solve problems nor an acceptance of people offering to solve their problems (out of pride) simply too much regulation so the problem cannot be solved without a license or long approval time very low standards of what is deemed acceptable so the problem isn't seen as a problem in the first place
