Serengeti Ventures is a social service organization dedicated to the rapid acclimation, advancement, and altruism of immigrants and other socioeconomically challenged subpopulations.
Immigrants have played a major role in the cultural vibrancy, socioeconomic development, and competitiveness of the United States, creating dynamic, fast-growing ventures that often emerge as preemptive market leaders—especially in the fields of engineering and technology.
With a propensity for risk-taking evidenced by the willingness to start anew in an unknown land, immigrants become entrepreneurs twice as frequently as native-born Americans.
These entrepreneurial newcomers are responsible for just over 50% of the 87 U.S.-based unicorns—startups valued at $1 billion dollars or more, with about 750 employees each, and a combined value of $168 billion—and they are central players in the leadership and innovation teams in more than 70% of these ventures.
Whether Native American or East Indian, everyone in the United States has ancestors who participated in great migrations. Serengeti Ventures views the support of all immigrants and socioeconomically challenged communities as one of the fastest routes to wealth-creation and economic growth in the U.S.—and therefore an act of immense patriotism.
