Hey there WebTomorrow 2015

I'm @robinwauters and I think know greattech companies can come from anywhere

American companies are responsible for themajority of globally used operating

systems, cloud storage and on-demandsoftware services and platforms

The most commonly used connecteddevices are designed and/or made in the

US, China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan

And yet ...

54% of 'unicorns' hail from the US(38.5% from Silicon Valley)

More than 60% of software 'unicorns' in theworld today were not built in the Valley

And this is a growing trend

So, where does that leave Europe?

Atomico identified 25 European software'unicorns', or 16% of 156 tracked companies

Europe has already produced global leadersand 'unicorns' in a variety of categories, and

all signs point to continued maturation

But this is surprisingly uncommon knowledge

embrace and learn from failurebut don't forget to

celebrate and learn from success
