I don't know the scene over there. But I'm guessing this is why Wikio got 12M(!) in funding?
To clarify, I'm definitely not calling you unskilled and am not qualified to do so. I'm attacking your copying of a question that implies you have solid experience in the field as a seed funding organization, operating like YC. I don't even know their inner workings.
But public funding + politics + international applicants seems to entail a lot more than seed funding + support. In another message (http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=15641)
you said work permits are available if the idea is good enough. Do the politicians have a say in the selection process?
I think your effort is great. Lots of people will be watching; I hope things can go smoothly for you.
