I was actually talking about it with my roommate: if the next big companies could pop from other countries than the USA And it's actually hard the believe and here is why:

- The USA is one big country one over 300millions people, one main language, one main culture, one currency ... and a shit lot of money ready to be invested

- When you start a company in France only 60 million people few investors, a small startup world, ... And if i want to expand my company to europe, i need to get the different languages, different culture, different bank and sometimes different currency.

And if you want to invest it's harder because the VC system is different, they are not much a big fan of competition.

It's a pain is the ass to grow big quickly there and also the mentality is different.
