About
Immigrant founders have built nearly 60% of America’s billion-dollar startups and are behind many of the companies defining the future of AI. Yet the U.S. has no dedicated startup visa, creating a real risk that the founders we attract, educate, and invest in will build their companies somewhere else. Global Detroit’s Entrepreneur in Residence program makes sure the world's greatest innovations stay right here in Michigan. By partnering with Michigan universities, Global EIR creates a pathway for international founders to stay, scale their companies, raise capital, create jobs, and build their futures here. This interactive session will unpack the data behind the global founder advantage, what’s at stake if we fail to retain it, and how investors, funders, universities, and ecosystem leaders can use the Global EIR model to turn global talent into regional growth.
