Startups Without Borders creates world-class entrepreneurship events, training programs, and media products, where diversity takes center stage. We’re here to build the startup ecosystem without borders.
What comes to mind when you hear the word refugee?
What’s the immediate image triggered by the word migrant?
Picture it.
Now picture the refugee that created a $1.5 million blockchain startup in a refugee camp in the Netherlands. Picture the founder of Mygrants, who raised €1M in investment for his startup in Italy.
Picture it vividly, because just like them, thousands of refugee and migrant entrepreneurs are creating mind-blowing businesses. They are not the exception to the norm.
51% of one-billion dollar startups in Silicon Valley were created by migrant founders.
They’ve been working without borders for decades. It’s time we create a startup ecosystem without borders, too.
Because talent doesn’t have a passport.
