I admire the Netherlands but how much value was created in the last 15 years? ASML was founded in the 80s. Booking in the 90s. Adyen early 2000. You have Messagebird and Catawiki and maybe 3-4 new names that are new. Mean time Israel has maybe 40-50 unicorns from the last 10 years. NL has the talent and workforce to be at that level but the Dutch startups think too local and the VC money isn't flowing enouhgh.
