Nice list. To really communicate the point that immigrants contribute to the US economy, might be a good idea to include rough US employment numbers on the image itself instead of when clicking into each one, since the bulk of the rhetoric around immigration is "jobs" focused, especially US jobs (global jobs might be seen as outsourcing/not relevant)
- mtgp1000 6y agoA couple dozen billionaire immigrant founders says nothing about the overall contributions (or costs) of immigrants to the economy.
- verghese 6y agoThis list is limited to H1B founders - the list of all immigrant founded unicorns would be much larger. A comprehensive list of all startups (unicorn or otherwise) founded by h1b holders could be a better indicator. Another way to quantify contributions could be aggregate taxes paid by these individuals but this data may not be available.
