alarm:clock euro Puzzler - Latin Lovers
In some ways venture capital in Europa is like the Romans, it is attracting talent to these shores, mobilizing capital and investments in various hotspots, and to a degree it is driving innovation. Latin was the language of the Romans. This fact and that notion inspired this week's Puzzler.
Here is a list of Latin place names. What modern day cities do they refer to?
Revalia - Skyperesearchanddevelopementonia
Turicum - the city on whose outskirts the alarm:clock euro office is located
Lutetia - Sofinnovaville
Emona - a young Eastern European city with more than 50,000 students and some interesting Web startups (dragon visual clue above)
Holmia - the capital of a Nordic country that has seen US giants acquire three of its cutting edge startups in the past year or so (audio compression, web conferencing, and data visualization)
The first and the fourth readers to write in with the correct answers will win fame, if not fortune, by being profiled here. We wish we could offer the reader who knows the answers without having to look any of them up in Wikipedia or Brittanica a special bonus prize, like an all expense paid trip to Londinium, but sponsors are just not aware yet of the value of being seen here.
