My original comment was "80% of the team is not in Europe either". I didn't say 80% in the US, and I wouldn't make that claim now. Furthermore, as per above link, Employees (est.) (Jan 2021) 2,863. Romanian employees are not 800 as claimed in that article, and closer to 600. 20% of 2863 is 572. Even 800 out of 2863 is 28%, and the actual number is less than 800. It seems we are much on the same page.

Of our employees, 714 were engaged in research and development. 122 full-time employees were based at our headquarters in New York, New York, and 727 full-time employees were based in Bucharest, Romania And that's from January. What are your sources? You're very confident for someone contradicting their IPO documents ;-) Plus you're moving the goalposts. I proved that more than 20% are in Romania alone (your own math says 28%), UIPath has other European offices. So it's entirely possible that around 50% of UIPath employees are in Europe. I'm too lazy to check. My point is that UIPath was started in Europe and has a strong presence in Europe. The main development center is in Europe. The top management is European. It can't be considered a purely American startup.

    It's been founded by Romanians, the CEO and founder is a major shareholder (he's the richest Romanian at the moment, $8.3bn). Some other CXOs are also Romanian, friends of the founder, I think. The Romanian R&D center is obviously competitive, otherwise we wouldn't have so many offices from purely American companies in Romania. So the direct answer is: for long enough, I hope :-)
