Research suggests that randomly winning an H-1B visa makes US startups more successful

I covered a study that used the randomness of the H-1B visa lottery as a natural experiment to measure the impact of hiring skilled immigrants on startups. I visualized the findings showing that startups with higher lottery win rates were more likely to secure venture capital, earn patents, and reach a successful exit through IPO or acquisition — providing data-driven evidence that restricting skilled immigration directly harms American entrepreneurship.
