There is an easy way to (statistically) double the amount of successful startups in Europe by almost any metric: include Israel in the count.

Why not include the US too while you're at it? Israel isn't in Europe.

I'd love to see the map they used in your geography class.

Depending on the metric, including Israel wouldn't even double the number compared to London, let alone the whole UK, _let alone_ all of Europe.

But I wrote "successful startups"...

Define "successful startups" and we can get some figures going.
