There's only so much you can do with 5 million people. Especially in a field where network effects amd scale matter a lot.

- joe_mamba 4mo agoFinland has same population as Norway, has way less money, but has 3x the scaleups. Even bigger difference with vs Netherlands. Even Norway themselves admit they're the underperformers of the Nordics. https://skywlkr.no/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/TechScaleupNorway_2018Report.pdf https://skywlkr.no/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/TechScaleupNor... So blaming population is a cheap excuse that doesn't hold water. Especially that you can always import the skilled people you lack, when you have virtually unlimited money and some of the highest standards of living in the world.
