BW Seek's Europe's Best Entrepreneurs Under 25.

BusinessWeek.com says it is "embarking on a search for Europe's Best Entrepreneurs Under 25". It's looking for people running their own companies, not business plans.

The editorial team is casting a wide net and doesn't specify that the startup has to be in the technology sector. That's a good thing as it wouldn't t find too many entrepreneurs under the age of 25 among venture-backed companies -- the rule of the day is to fund so-called serial entrepreneurs and few are that young.

Even Ehssan Dariani, co-founder of StudiVZ.com, the popular German Facebook clone (angel-backed by Lukasz Gadowski of Spreadshirt, and the Samwer brothers) is 26 years old.
