Interesting. Quite a few venture capital firms nearby (Cologne), but I don't see any actual startups until I zoom our far enough to see the startups in other countries. (and one in Karlsruhe).
Wonder what that means.

I also wonder why it places Spotify out in the forest, when their official information places them in Stockholm (Sweden's capital).

#13Many companies on the list are not startups, to name a few: skype, mysql, spil games, unity and rovio.
True, I used the term loosely, perhaps I should have said "tech companies founded by Europeans"

#14Your signup form doesn't work; asks for the Recaptcha API key.
Thanks, I've taken care of this bug.

#15Polldaddy came from Ireland? Cool, I didn't know that. Surely there are loads more to be added though, right?
Oh yes, there are tons, but I thought the YC community is a good place to collect more startup info :)

Thanks. I know, but the map is not just about the countries using Euro, it's about all countries within Europe's geographical boundaries.

You're right, Spotify's location was Stockholm, but the map automatically displayed it in Stockholm county. Thanks for noticing this, I'll correct the error.

Oh. I thought it meant something like Germany is a great place to get venture capital but not such a great place to start a startup.
