This new research on US unicorn startups is really interesting.
Some key facts from the report:
1. Immigrants founded or cofounded 455 of America’s 775 privately held billion-dollar startups, equal to 59% of all US unicorns.
2. 66% of all US unicorns were founded or cofounded by immigrants or the children of immigrants.
3. 79% of US unicorns have either an immigrant founder or an immigrant in a key leadership role.
4. The 455 immigrant-founded US unicorns have a combined valuation of $5 trillion.
5. That $5 trillion valuation is larger than the total stock-market value of companies listed in all but 7 countries.
6. Including immigrant-founded unicorns that went public since 2016 pushes the total value above $5.8 trillion.
7. The number of immigrant-founded US unicorns rose from 50 in 2018 to 455 in 2026.
8. 24% of US unicorns have a founder who first came to America as an international student.
@UnderSecPD The legacy of Amir Temur is nothing to celebrate about. He was one of the most ruthless kings of his time.
He used the pretext of HOLY WAR for Islam to pillage cities, loot wealth and enslave artisans.
Anything you marvel at in Samarkand has a very harsh history.
@suzanneejack@EricLDaugh Bias about the Iran war? He has been spinning it daily for the last few weeks. Him saying Iran attacking Kuwait and other countries during the ceasefire is no big deal is not spin on his part, when people have died in the attack?
@suzanneejack@EricLDaugh Asking questions is a reporter's job, whether male or female. Unfortunately, we've reached a point where Trump thinks it's acceptable to attack a reporter, in this case a woman, because she doesn't smile. If he made comments like that in a corporate job, he'd likely be fired.
Bullying a reporter is not needed.
Yes we can say it's his style, but it's uncalled for.
She is from Alabama and he is an ex-Democrat from NYC, and come to think of it, a lot of those instincts are showing in his second term right now.
He is not a conservative by any stretch!
Serious question, is Trump suffering from some form of cognition deficiency? Or, more likely... is Susie still calling the shots? It is impossible to believe this is the same man who led 80M Americans to the polls, promised the Iranian people we were coming to "help" them. Assured us this would be over nearly as soon as it began. Promised years ago he would NEVER NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS, had made an example of Obama and Biden are horrific foreign policy with Iran.. yet, here we are. Another Presidential address to throw us some cake for a bit longer. Meanwhile, 1/4 of the voter base, if that, believes he has a 55D chess game at play, they aren't sure if Israel is running the show and believe 'the plan' is coming to fruition because "we are watching a movie".
No. We are not watching a movie. COG was not in play for the last admin/coup, the IC is 1000% still running the show- including many brains that have devolved into all out psycho-cult, political BDSM. Meanwhile, I paid nearly $75 to fill up my tank today, because to hell with EV's and weird shit being spilled into my soil where cotton and corn once grew and I was one of the loudest voices for taking out the IRGC completely to set the people free and here we are. Another speech. Happy 250th Birthday America.
An innocent person was killed, and more than 63 others were seriously injured.
Now imagine if those victims were Americans. Would it suddenly be a much bigger deal?
This is who we elected: someone who shows little empathy when innocent people are killed for our mistakes
@monicaonairtalk One innocent person killed. More than 63 injured. If they were Americans, our outrage would be deafening.
Ignorance of geopolitics has consequences. Innocent people pay the price while leaders treat human lives as an afterthought.
SHAME on Trump and our collective self.
@SanviSharm49500 Not true. But yes we don't want more Indians than we already have here and we don't want the ones here to stay longer than the temporary visas they were given to work.
@TheDemocrats Yes in most places in America if you try to attack the police with an intent to hurt or kill them, then you will be 'neutralized' before you do that.
Every American knows that.
I am surprised the person behind the 'Democrats' account does not know that.
