Immigrant Entrepreneurship
America thrives on people willing take risks for an idea and driven by their ambition to prosper.
About Immigrant Entrepreneurship
Legal immigrants are among America’s most ambitious innovators—starting businesses and developing new products at rates far higher than the native-born population. Their willingness to take risks and build something new reflects both the pursuit of the American Dream and the power of a free, open market. In fact, more than 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children, underscoring their central role in driving American innovation and job creation.
Pioneer works to ensure that this energy translates into lasting prosperity. Our goals are to remove unnecessary occupational-licensing barriers that keep skilled workers out of the market and to expand English-language and workforce integration so legal immigrants can fully participate in—and help lead—the next era of American innovation.
