I think this has been debunked? Just look at Sweden as an counter example or Israel.
I believe it’s just the lack of massive capital and the power law of VC investments. Start 1000s companies with smart people and a tiny fraction will get insanely big.
We’re starting to see this in Europe too now.
- passerby1 5y agoHiring SE in Sweden takes minimum 6 months. Take into account a Union to deal with. It's probably too complex for some startups. Does it make Sweden a good example for starting a company or bad one? On the other hand, people in Sweden are positive about hiring (and sometimes being hired as a) freelancer. But that's not a company, right?
