Evernote? Badoo? Parallels?
- BadassFractal 14y agoEvernote/Badoo were not founded / grown in Russia as far as I can tell. It would be like saying that Google is a Russian company because Sergey was born there. Also, the fact that a 50m company even needs to be mentioned among the "top" should be sufficient proof of the country's impact on the rest of the world (again, I'm not counting Russia-specific Yandex/Rambler/Odnoklassniki/[...] here)
- krschultz 14y agoYour own link says that Parascript is now headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, USA.
- ajays 14y agoParascript was a Russian company, but they moved en masse to Boulder in 1994 (IIRC). They are (were?) a group of very smart engineers, very strong in DSP.
- rdl 14y agoWith the number of amazing engineers from Russia and the rest of fUSSR, they'd basically need to have 20-30% of all successful technology companies to be keeping up. That's clearly not the case, so somehow the Russian business environment is underperforming for tech companies and startups.
