The Vertical
The Vertical focuses on international tech entrepreneurs in the U.S., providing information, inspiration, and cultural guidance. For years, these stories have gone underreported, seeming to fly under the radar. Yet, 55% of America’s most valuable billion-dollar startups were launched by foreign-born entrepreneurs. Although immigrants account for less than 14% of the U.S. population, they start 24% percent of all tech companies. The Vertical covers startups and other ventures launched by foreign-born entrepreneurs. We also report on VCs, accelerators, and other building blocks of the ecosystem, supporting immigrant founders in the U.S.
