American Startups with Immigrant Founders (nat.org)

can you really count someone who came to this country at the age of 6-8(Sergey Brin/Jerry Yang/eBay founder) as an immigrant founder? I mean they got all their education in the states.

Also they have Caterina Fake on there and she was born in Pittsburgh.


I added Shockley, and a few of the Traitorous Eight. I'm not sure that they founded actually incorporations, but it's not really fair to completely ignore their contributions. (On a side note, I think Kleiner's little investment company did OK though).


This will get abused so badly. Every desperate immigrant will pretend to found a startup.
