Immigrants is such a broad term its nearly meaningless.
From the article:
"The share of the most successful and globally-recognized U.S. companies that have immigrant founders is growing, according to NAE's Hanna Siegel and Andrew Lim, while the Trump administration has tried to make it more difficult for immigrants to come to the U.S., often claiming that they take American jobs and lower wages."
No mention what type of immigrant founded these companies (and by founded, it could mean they were one of a couple cofounders) Most likely they were already highly educated or pursing an advanced degree in the US.
When you go to the source material from New American Economy think tank, they don't have any links to explain how they created this report, nothing about methodology. Its just hey believe us.
