As a startup hub, Amsterdam grabs the same amount of attention as the girl with braces at the high school dance. So is the Dutch tech startup story sold short? But I think its fair to say that the Dutch post-World War II welfare state isn’t exactly breeding the young and hungry entrepreneur you find in Turkey, Romania and Estonia.

Noah Kagan shared this tip at the Digital Elite Camp conference I attended in Estonia this year. A lot of startups use this strategy to launch their businesses to a crowd, rather than launching first and then figuring out how to get users. The key is to make sure the Content Upgrade is evergreen (ie not time-based).
