That’s because it was made up by twice-failed, once sued Vivek Wadhwa – a NASSCOM frontman – who did a fake phone survey then called it a “study” in the late 90s. He called up some India Inc buddies who were running H-1B fraud shops and then concluded that 1/2 of Silicon Valley founders were foreign – a total fraud.
It’s one reason he’s known in the valley simply as “Fraudhwa“.
The “foreign born foudners” thing is pure NASSCOM propaganda – an excuse to invade and loot US tech companies and jobs and throw Americans out of work. These people have never created anything.
Fraudhwa was a tech CEO twice, destroyed 2 companies, got fired, then sued, then had a heart attack, then decided to rebrand himself as an “academic”.
Silicon Valley was built by Americans and that is a historical fact.
Invaders mere usurped it and then took credit for it after the fact.
Stealing companies and jobs is not the same as creating them.
And phone surveys aren’t scientific studies.
The whole thing is a fraud.
