Germany is #5 on your provided link if you click on "Countries with most current unicorns". But yes, the USA has 20 times the number of unicorns, and I've said that the german tech industry is dwarved by the US one. More than half the unicorns on that website are in the USA (665 in the USA, 1328 - 665 = 663 outside). My point was that Germany definitely had some world known brands in software, it's more than zero.
