> Why are there so many successful startups in Stockholm?

I believe a cause of this is that Sweden market is pretty small, so companies tend to initially go to a global market and solve global problems.

Compare Stockholm to Berlin, Paris or Moscow for example. Domestic markets in these countries are huge, so people have no reasons to go global - they have lots of local problems to solve.
