Ask HN: You're the Prime Minister. How would you help creating startup unicorns? You're elected Prime Minister of your country. What are the first initiatives you'd work on to help your country create a few startup unicorns (and a lot of jobs)? |

I ask because many unicorns don't involve many jobs.
If you want more jobs, the problem is that your country doesn't let people benefit from making jobs and/or has policies/practices/laws that discourage people from making jobs.
The latter will always have positive sounding names, usually including some variation of "protect". People who aren't making jobs will fight to protect said policies/practicies/laws.
Is this the best way to spend money? I guess not.
Is this making Poland a capital of startups? It helps. In 2018 we had 35M$ invested in startups. In 2020 it was 477M
