Lies! Look at the actual source data of this supposed study. "Silicon Valley" has far more billion+ companies per capita than the nordic countries: (75 / 3.75 million) vs (9 / 26.6 million) = 20 vs 0.34 billion dollar companies per million people = Silicon Valley has 5882% more. Likewise when just looking at Sweden: (75 / 3.75 million) vs (5 / 9.6 million) = 20 vs 0.52 billion dollar companies per million people = Silicon Valley has 3846% more. http://www.atomico.com/explore-d3 http://www.atomico.com/explore-d3 I don't know why the author chose to compare Silicon Valley to the country of Sweden, but those are the actual numbers.
