Sorry, disqualified according to your own arbitrary rules.

And regarding AI startups there's about a bazillion of them in EU, just as in the US. Sure, ChatGPT was invented by a US company but you can't really claim that there's "nothing" in the EU. Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Yeah, well, I don't have any statistics here, it's just what I notice in my everyday life: many more startups and services coming from USA and almost none from EU. UIPath is the only one I know of, I think.

But I am happy to be proved wrong, thats why I asked in the first place.

Sadly the cert for Let Me Google That For You has expired, so here's a plain old google link for you: https://www.google.com/search?q=eu+unicorns

Off the top of my head, but some of these are older than 5 years: Spotify, Voi, Revolut, Ledger, Aiven.
