How Sweden became the Silicon Valley of Europe

I dont use Google. Never heard of any of the companies you posted, but I took a look at the website of the first one (Intercom): "The company was founded in 2011 in San Francisco"...

I'm sure they have some Irish connection, but it's obviusly not a Dublin company.

Product is built in Dublin -- their investment came from the US -- all four founders are Irish. No company at that scale is exclusively a single nationality.

Your Dublin unicorn examples:

* Intercom - Founded in San Fransisco according to themselves.

* Workhuman - Founded 20+ years ago.

* CarTrawler - Founded 30+ years ago.

Not really signs of a "Silicon Valley"-startup/unicorn kind of atmosphere in my book :)
