A provocative look at the remarkable contributions of high-skill
immigrant entrepreneurs in America
Both a revelation and a call-to-action, Immigrant, Inc.
explores the uncommon skill and drive of America’s new immigrants
and their knack for innovation and entrepreneurship. From the
techies who created icons of the new economy-Intel, Google, e Bay
and Sun Microsystems-to the young engineers tinkering with solar
power and next-generation car batteries, immigrants have proven
themselves to be America’s competitive advantage.
With a focus on legal immigrants and their odyssey from homeland
to start-up, this unique book
* Explores the psyche, cultural nuances, skills, and business
strategies that help immigrants achieve remarkable success
* Explains how immigrants will create the American jobs of the
future-if we let them
Whether you are a CEO, a civic leader, or an entrepreneur
yourself, Immigrant, Inc. warns of the peril of
anti-immigrant attitudes and a hostile immigration process. It also
explains how any American can tap their ‚inner immigrant‘ to
transform their lives and their companies.
Written by an immigration lawyer who represents immigrant
entrepreneurs and a journalist who specializes in international
culture, the authors have a front-row seat to this phenomenon,
offering a fascinating glimpse into the mindset of the most
persistent entrepreneurs of the era.
