Abstract:
Several recent studies demonstrate that Indian American immigrant entrepreneurs play an increasingly
important role in the economic growth in the United States. In part due to the compelling evidence of
entrepreneurial success amongst immigrants, there is a renewed interest among policy makers in the
StartUp Visa Act proposal which aims to drive job creation by helping foreign entrepreneurs secure
immigrant visas to the United States. Our multiple-case study analysis that involved raw data collected
from high-growth Indian American immigrant entrepreneurs in the technology industry suggests the
several modifications are essential for the StartUp Visa proposal to produce results.
