Keen On… Dan Wagner: Why American Entrepreneurs Are “Slightly Parochial”
While the eyes of the world are focused on the global competition in London at the moment, it's still quite rare to hear of English start-up entrepreneurs able to successfully compete globally with the Yanks. But one London based entrepreneur who might buck this trend is Dan Wagner, the founder of the successful publishing platform M.A.I.D and the current chairman of Bright Station Ventures. Indeed, his latest ecommerce venture, mPowa, has been in the news recently because of accusations from Jack Dorsey's Square that Wagner's mPowa has been copying Square's images in their promotional material. But when I sat down with Wagner in his central London office, he not only rejected the idea that mPowa had borrowed anything from Square but he told me that American entrepreneurs are "slightly parochial" in their approach to the increasingly global Internet marketplace.
