I'd argue if you say "the fact is", you should provide a source for that.
So low-paying jobs in the service sector are not an immigrant thing in the US? Did you talk to enough Europeans to know we can only name the BionTech guy as an example of a successful immigrant?

- j_wtf_all_taken 5y agoI am one European. You would have to talk to a lot of Europeans to make the claim you made.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoThe fact that you can't name any just proves my point. Thank you.
- j_wtf_all_taken 5y agoYour logic is flawed. That happens when following some ideology.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoIt may be flawed but at least I provide arguments for my logic while you just spam this thread with "Europe good because social system, USA bad because corporations"
- j_wtf_all_taken 5y agoYeah, however, what you should provide is evidence, not arguments. With "logic", anything can explained, if your logic is just skewed enough. My evidence? Reality.

A few examples as well as general recent trends but also the challenges immigrant founders are facing.
- mustafa_pasi 5y agoLaunching a startup is not the same as successfully navigating the local economy and being successful. You can launch a startup by signing some papers and maybe getting some very small grant from the EU or the local government. But good luck getting VCs interested or getting other businesses as customers/clients. The article actually says this: > Glaring funding gaps: A lack of access to capital -- government support, business angels and venture capital -- particularly plague first-generation migrant founders, who received €1.1 million on average, compared to €2.6 million of all startups. > Below-average cooperation: While the average startup cooperates with seven established businesses, first-generation migrant founders only have two such firm ties. What's more, they work together with scientific institutions less often. Within the startup ecosystem, however, cooperation is well-established across the board.
