- nicoschuele 13y agoYes. They are successful and I acknowledged it. Now, compare any one of these to the success level of Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, etc.
- Peroni 13y agoEvery one of those companies defines the word 'successful'. I'd suggest your title should read "Why are there not more insanely successful, multi-billion dollar startups in Europe?"
- nicoschuele 13y agoYou are correct. On the other hand, spending at least 9 hours on the web daily for the past 10 years, there are some in your list I've never heard about. It is a fact that Europe produces less ubiquitous successful ventures than the US.
