Not a unicorn, but a zebra: Visible Founders celebrates entrepreneurial journeys of migrants

“Being an entrepreneur means having to start from zero, but for migrant entrepreneurs, it means starting from below zero.”

This sentence from the Visible Founders docu-series instantly hits home for me as a migrant. While I may not be building a business from the ground up, I have had the opportunity to talk to many founders, especially those of South Asian heritage who have struggled to make their voices heard and faces seen in a foreign land. This is despite the fact that diverse founders outperform the market, and make do with very few resources.

Directed and produced by Anand Tamboli along with Sangeeta Mulchandani as co-producer, the four-part series charts the stories of four immigrant founders and their three businesses.
