Second that. I‘m from Germany and attended a conference at a an Evangelical Church in the Netherlands (in Ede: https://www.schuilplaats.net/) a couple months ago without having booked a place to stay. At the end of the last evening session, I simply asked the pastor if he could help me and sure enough, one church member offered me an entire vacation apartment that he owns for one night for free. This is not a suggestion to take advantage of their hospitality but I have to say that the people at the church were very open and welcoming to new people without displaying a missional agenda.

Why Has Apple Spawned So Few Startups? 11 years ago
Maybe it's because the company DNA attracts less entrepreneurial minded employees in the first place than for example Google. I think that people working for Apple:
- like to have a strong leader in front of them (or at least used to when Jobs was around).
- are engineers comfortable to be less at the center of product development than at other big tech companies.
Whereas an entrepreneurial-minded person is famously rather reluctant to subordination. Exceptions confirm the rule.
