In case it's unclear from the title, the study showed that 45% of Fortune 500 companies had at least 1 founder that was an immigrant or child of an immigrant. For example, Facebook is considered "founded by an immigrant" in this categorization, which sort of surprised me at first.
- blululu 7y agoThe title is a bit misleading. I get the sense that the data analysis is pretty biased toward proving a point. Having a single founder who is a second generation immigrant is not equal to having all founders being third generation + immigrants. Taking the total percentage of all founders of Fortune 500 companies might be more reasonable.
- daveslash 7y agoAgreed. I had to double check to see if Zuckerberg was an immigrant. He's not. But at least one of Facebook's founders is. You're right - it is misleading.
