>The UK isn't really known for being an ambitious nation.
They've ruled the seas and half of the earth for centuries. They've ruled commerce and industry for centuries.
Isn't that a proof of ambitions?

- lordnacho 2y agoEast India Company was a startup, too
- surfingdino 2y agoSo was Royal Dutch Shell. They actually did trade shells in the beginning.
- colesantiago 2y agoNot when it comes to startups, besides the UK keeps going on about what they have done in the past. So, why hasn't this translated to trillion dollar companies in the UK?
- surfingdino 2y agoBecause we've ran out of ARMs...
- sofixa 2y agoIs a tech company only successful if it has a trillion dollar valuation? So there are only 6 successful tech companies in the whole world? As always, you have the good counterexamples of critical for the world companies such as ASML, ARM, Zeiss, Ericsson and Nokia (5G) that don't have such high valuations. Does that mean they aren't successful or needed?
- snapetom 2y agoYes, but what have you done for me lately? Certainly Britain’s imperial history speaks for itself. However the last 25+ years of tech startups has shown us the psyche has changed.
