How many unicorns are from Israel, though?
Israel should be lauded for managing to be an intensely vibrant and high-tech country, and European countries should try to learn from that, but even that is apparently not quite sufficient. So I think GP has a point.

There’s no need to do that though, there are plenty of Israeli companies! (Oh, I see they have a pie chart of companies in Israel and it’s about 25% by value) It’s also too bad that it excludes public companies or large exits (e.g., Wix and Waze) since those are even better retorts to the “can’t build companies” claim.
