Where do the founders of American unicorns come from?
According to the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP), the majority of American unicorns - private startups worth over a billion dollars - have at least one immigrant founder. While some companies and founders are well-known, like SpaceX with South African Elon Musk, hundreds of lesser-known unicorns have been founded by the greatest talents from just a few countries. This infographic, using NFAP data, presents the countries where the most founders of billion-dollar American startups live as of May 2022. Note: these rankings are based on unicorn valuations as of May 2022. Since valuations regularly change, some companies may have gained or lost unicorn status since then. Here are the countries from which immigrant founders originate. Source: Visual Capitalist.
