UK is risk-averse by default. Nordics have specific & small domestic markets that force them to go international first. Germans had the Samwer brothers. Those three geographies are the only ones which built unicorns above $2B over the past years... While latin countries lack LEGENDARY companies. Through diversity, your international mindset will grow higher and faster. It will foster your ambition and your level of execution excellence to attract enough capital to fuel your great journey ! Diversity is a great kick-starter.
