Silicon Milkroundabout Aims To Tackle London's Startup Brain-Drain

There's a neat line in the Facebook movie, The Social Network, that says something like Harvard students don't seek a job, they create a job in reference to the fact that so many graduates go on start their own venture. And while not all computer science graduates and those from related disciplines, either fresh from University or already in work, can be expected to found their own startup, joining one is the next best thing.However it's here where the London startup community faces a particular challenge: how to compete with the brain-drain caused by the Capital city's financial sector and by other corporations who have chosen London as their European headquarters or have a major presence here, including Internet companies like Google and Microsoft. That's something that a new event called Silicon Milkroundabout hopes to help remedy.
