If we count Alvotech (pre-going public) and Kerecis that’s two unicorns in Iceland, ~400k people or 5/million. Iceland, best in the world (per capita)
Startups with at least $1 billion in valuation, per million people by country. The top three are Singapore, Israel, and the US.

Dear @taylorswift13 - that sounds great! On behalf of the people of Reykjavik, I would welcome you to my city as the perfect stop-over at the end of the tour. As the mayor of Reykjavik I would personally ensure that you would have I wonderful time. We would love to see you here!
Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour. And I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore!! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???

We're launching @GRID_hq today. After silently releasing everything last night, someone jumped the gun and we have our first paying customer all the way from Australia! I guess that means we're no longer "pre revenue"! 😏 youtube.com/watch?v=OH9CXhWV…
