Immigrant Entrepreneurship and Innovation for a Healthier Nation

The Immigrant Imperative

Serengeti Ventures views immigrants as the fastest route to American job creation—yet the United States does not provide the self-help resources that immigrant entrepreneurs and innovators need to launch and grow world-class ventures on American soil. Our mission is to ensure all who pursue the American Dream have the self-help resources essential to their success and a healthier nation. 

Immigrant startups and innovations create vast job opportunities for American-born citizens and help the U.S. retain the kind of principled global influence that has long captured the world’s imagination. That’s because immigrants are entrepreneurial by nature and believe in American possibility. They are the world’s greatest risk-takers and the most resourceful human beings on the planet: men, women, and children who readily leave behind all that they know to create the future out of little more than dreams, sweat, and a can-do attitude. Immigrants have long been central to America’s emergence and sustained position as a beacon of hope worldwide.

It’s no surprise then that America’s patriotic newcomers launch startup businesses and innovate at a significantly higher rate than individuals who are born in the United States. With embryonic ventures and breakthrough innovations creating the vast majority of new U.S. jobs, the need for immigrant entrepreneurs and innovators is greater than ever.

Immigrant startups and innovations have unlimited upside potential. According to the Kauffman Foundation, more than 40 percent of the Fortune 500 companies in 2010 were founded by an immigrant or an immigrant’s child. If the United States fails to provide avenues and resources for immigrant ventures, other countries will rapidly usurp one of American’s greatest economic advantages. (Already, Canada, New Zealand, and other forward-thinking nations are making concerted efforts to attract the world’s most courageous business minds and innovators.)

Supporting the dreams and success of business-minded and inventive immigrants and risk-takers for the purpose of accelerating America’s health, socioeconomic development, and competitiveness is the central goal of Serengeti Ventures.
