Did you know... ▶ 64% of U.S. unicorns were founded or co-founded by 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. ▶ 80% of America’s unicorns companies have an immigrant founder, CEO or vice president of engineering. ▶ 25% of U.S. billion-dollar startup companies have a founder who first came to America as an international student. Two years ago, we launched MENT2BE, our initiative for and with migrant entrepreneurs, together with our partners at 2hearts. But not just because of a personal relevance & connection - but because Migrant Entrepreneurs are an invaluable resource when it comes to innovation and talent. Ersin Üstün, COO at BRYCK, shares his point of view about the need to fully integrate and support Migrant Entrepreneurs within our German Startup Ecosystem, also as part of the governmental WIN-initiative - and how we are supporting this mission, now with our 2 new partners Digital Hub Initiative & Startup-Verband Click & learn more!
