Immigrant Female Founders' odds to be a Unicorn?Phoebe Yu
Immigrant founders, according to a 2018 study by the National Foundation for American Policy, are responsible for 55% of U.S. billion-dollar companies, or “unicorns,” as they are known. Uber, SpaceX, WeWork, Palantir Technologies, Stripe, Slack, Moderna Therapeutics, Robinhood, Instacart, Houzz, Credit Karma, Tanium, Zoox and CrowdStrike all count at least one immigrant co-founder.
So as Female founders, odds are low, as Immigrants, odds are pretty good, how about Immigrant Female Founders then? Even harder or better odds?
We are having a mix of Female Immigrant founders, Female Immigrant investors, and Male investors that had invested in Female Immigrants on this panel and talk about their different perspectives on this topic.

Segundo a Universidade de Stanford, “Inovação social é uma nova solução para um problema social, uma solução mais efetiva, eficiente, sustentável ou justa que as soluções já existentes, e que, prioritariamente, gere valor para a sociedade como um todo ao invés de beneficiar apenas alguns indivíduos”. Kriss Deiglmeier, Diretora do Centro de Inovação Social da Universidade de Stanford (EUA), referência neste tema, falou sobre o assunto no Seminário Social Good Brasil e compartilhou sua visão e experiência prática. Por que inovação social é uma estratégia adotada por empresas, casos práticos e resultados que já estão fazendo diferença.
42 257 представителей поколения «миллениалов» смогли высказать свое мнение об образовании, трудоустройстве и предпринимательстве в рамках опроса, проведенного AIESEC в партнерстве с PwC и при поддержке Кампании тысячелетия Организации Объединенных Наций, MY World и посланника Генерального секретаря ООН по делам молодежи.
Согласно отчету YouthSpeak, поколение «миллениалов» все больше волнует увеличивающийся разрыв между профессиональным образованием и трудоустройством. Университеты не озабочены тем, смогут ли представители поколения «миллениалов» достичь своих целей в будущем, а работодатели не стремятся поддерживать с ними контакты, способствующие их будущему трудоустройству. Поэтому преподаватели и работодатели, которые, в отличие от большинства, поддерживают тесные связи с поколением «миллениалов», выделяются на фоне остальных в погоне за молодыми и жизненно необходимыми компаниям квалифицированными специалистами.

2. “Hopefully the International Youth Foundation/W.K. Kellogg Foundation experience will encourage more individuals and institutions to take risks and give life and sustainability to big ideas. With the daunting challenges facing the world’s young people, the final lesson is that no idea can be too big.” Russell Mawby: Former Chairman and CEO Honorary Member, Board of Trustees W.K. Kellogg Foundation “Often, social progress doesn’t come from governments looking down, directing change. It comes from communities, families, and individuals looking up, driving society forward themselves, fueled by nothing more than an idea or instinct to do good. It comes from civic engagement.” — Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah Learn-Work-Lead

16. This website would be of great use to youth development practitioners especially those in the YD program. Concepts that we have already learned and are going to learn are intertwined throughout this entire site. This website is the exactly what we have already been talking about in this course. It takes the concepts we currently know for providing positive youth development and applies those concepts on a global level. Through this website I was able to see programs with a basis of youth-adult partnerships, youth civic work, youth and their families, health, education, work, and parenthood.
17. I recommend this website for any of the different countries that will be researched throughout this course.
Editor's Notes
“The preparation of youth for work and life is very low… Education opportunities must be made more relevant to the needs of all young people as learners and future workers, parents, and citizens.” — 2007 World Development Report “Only through decent employment opportunities can young people get the chance to work themselves out of poverty. Focusing on youth is a must for any country." -Juan SomaviaDirector-General, International Labor Organization
IYF does a lot to engage youth in their own development. It is really interesting to look at the information provided on IYF’s website and see that there is a specific desire to see the growth of youth around the world. This is incredibly important to youth development practitioners due to our desire to see youth grow. The president’s message sounded like it was taken from all of my courses that I have taken in the YD program thus far. The fifth point on this slide reminded me of the quote I have heard in two of my courses thus far saying, “Problem free is not fully prepared and fully prepared is not fully engaged.”
