The Jews of the inverted pyramid: the backbone of Silicon Valley entrepreneurship and VCs

The total number of Jews in the United States is nearly 6 million, accounting for almost half of the world's total Jewish population, accounting for 2% of the United States. Compared with Indian and Chinese immigrants, Jewish immigrants mostly went to the United States in the 19th century and the 20th century half because of the "anti-Semitic movement" in Europe. These Jewish immigrants, although marginalized and oppressed in Europe, have not been discriminated against in the United States, and thus have been able to start and develop. Not only are these Jewish immigrants active on Wall Street in the east, but they have also opened up a Hollywood film industry cluster in the west, even in Silicon Valley. When Chinese students and immigrants began to land more and more in the United States in the 20th century century, Jewish immigrants became the most important immigrant group in the mainstream American society. Whether in New York or Boston, Chinese businessmen often complain of "laying high and low", saying that "The money is earned by the Jews" because their bunks are often rented by Jewish landlords. Even in Silicon Valley, the situation of Jewish immigrants contrasts with that of the Chinese. It has been summed up in this way: The Chinese and the Jews formed two pyramids, one is the Chinese in the Silicon Valley distribution of the positive pyramid, the bottom is a large number of engineers, in the middle of the enterprise managers at all levels, which is a small number of entrepreneurs, the spire is a handful of venture capitalists; Its upper part is numerous active in finance, the Jewish population in areas such as real estate, as well as many entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, such as the Fairy children of the year, the National Semiconductor, Intel, today's Google, Facebook and other companies are the founders of the Jewish figure, the lower pyramid is a relatively large number of Jewish engineers. The Jewish people in Silicon Valley hold the power of capital tightly, enjoying excess profits, and can identify traces of their existence from the names of many partners in the Dune Road. For example, the founding partner of Kay Peng Hua is the Austrian Jew who escaped the Nazi butcher's knife in 1938, while Sequoia Capital's star Moritz was born in a German Jewish refugee family in Wales. Compared to the conservative east, the Silicon Valley's environment is more about human power than pedigree, and the Jewish success in Silicon Valley is not abrupt, a success that has become the natural basis for a network of connections between Israel and Silicon Valley.
