胡润百富董事长兼首席调研官胡润表示:“这些30岁以下年轻创业者的影响力令人震惊。他们的企业平均规模不到1亿美元。如果他们能在30岁之前就建立起了这样规模的企业,那么想象一下,当他们到了埃隆·马斯克和杰夫·贝佐斯的年纪时,能把企业发展到多大的规模。

上榜的美国U30年龄均在30岁及以下(截至202111月)。

上榜公司中,从事企业管理解决方案行业的最多(33家,占总数的16%),可见数字经济正在创造大量机会对现有产业带来颠覆性变革。

德国出生的Laura Behrens Wu就是这一趋势的典型代表,她是Shippo的创始人兼首席执行官。Shippo是一家B2B物流服务公司,帮助客户企业接入到综合的物流供应商网络。该公司成立于2014年,迄今为止已经筹集了超过1.54亿美元的资金,估值超过10亿美元。

第二大行业是金融服务26家,13.8%),其次是医疗22家,10.8%)和传媒娱乐(14家,6.9%)。

加州是87家上榜公司的总部所在地,占总数的42%可见其作为美国领先的科技创新中心的地位。排在第二位的是纽约州,有38家,占总数的19%。马萨诸塞州有11家上榜公司,是唯一一个拥有超过10家上榜公司的其他州。

从城市来看,旧金山(43家公司上榜,占总数的22%)和纽约(32家,占16%)是最吸引美国U30两大城市。第三名的洛杉矶有12家(6%,第四名的芝加哥有8家(4%)。

胡润表示:“美国两大商业中心,西海岸的加利福尼亚州和东海岸的纽约及其周边地区,仍然是美国最主要的创业中心。它们拥有一流的大学,几乎无限的资金来源和极其丰富的人才库,继续成为成立和发展世界级新公司的最佳地点。”

291位上榜者中,256位在美国上的大学,本科或研究生。共有30人上过斯坦福大学,15人上过加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校12人上过哈佛大学。

胡润表示:“世界级大学对于成功的创业生态至关重要。斯坦福大学支撑了硅谷早期的成功,现在我们看到顶尖大学与成功的初创企业进行了更深入的合作,这些初创企业反过来也在培养新一代的人才。”

布朗大学有11位校友上榜,是其他大学中唯一一所上榜校友人数超过10人的大学。麻省理工学院和加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校都有9位校友上榜。

据了解,至少有14%的上榜者出生在美国以外的地方,来自世界各地的创业者也不断来到美国并获得成功。

胡润表示:“美国仍然吸引着世界上极有抱负的年轻创业者们。这就是为什么创新在未来几十年将成为美国经济主要驱动力的关键原因之一。”

非美国出生的上榜者中,包括出生于巴西的Henrique DubugrasPedro Franceschi,其创办的金融服务公司Brex估值超过120亿美元;出生于香港的Stanley Tang,是美国最大外卖公司DoorDash的联合创始人之一;以及Alex Bouaziz王硕,这对出生于法国和中国的搭档,是总部位于旧金山的人力资源服务公司Deel的创始人。

291位上榜者中,78%为男性,22%为女性。

他们的平均年龄为26岁,5年前成立了榜单上的公司。

胡润表示:“很高兴与总部美国加州的游戏社交平台E-Pal联合发布《2022 E-Pal·胡润美国U30创业领袖》,我们美国U30旨在寻找美国最成功的年轻创业者,他们最有可能在未来创建数十亿美元规模的本土企业。希望这份榜单能激励下一代雄心勃勃的年轻创业者。

一个成功的创业生态需要榜样,既包括个人,如胡润富豪榜系列上的超级财富创造者,也包括企业,如胡润500强系列上的企业。如果一个城市或国家能够吸引世界上最成功的企业家和公司,那将产生连锁效应。企业家精神是有感染力的,有很多榜样的城市很可能会吸引最聪明、最优秀的年轻创业者。

“投资机构的角色正在演变为指导和扩大机会,而不仅仅是提供资金。全球领先的创投机构正在用他们的投资组合构建生态系统,这对全球快速成长的初创企业具有巨大吸引力。拥有顶级创投机构的投资,将极大地增加初创企业的可信度。”

胡润百富致力于通过有质量的榜单和调研,发现企业价值,弘扬企业家精神。我们的创业系列主要由四部分组成,首先是胡润U30,即30岁以下创业领袖,接下来是两个‘未来独角兽’榜单:胡润猎豹企业是目前估值在3亿美元至5亿美元之间,最有可能在五年内成为独角兽的企业;胡润瞪羚企业目前估值在5亿美元至10亿美元之间,最有可能在三年内成为独角兽的企业。第四,胡润全球独角兽是全球创业企业的巅峰。”

“你看到的每一个成功的初创公司背后,都有成千上万的失败公司,也有新一代的未来独角兽公司。希望这份美国最成功的年轻创业者榜单能帮助下一代年轻创业者为自己的企业找到榜样。”

我们生活在一个新技术正在改变我们生活方式和消费习惯的时代,为新一代企业家创造机会。2021年正式成为创业公司有史以来最成功的一年。我们已经看到的独角兽公司有1000多家,几乎是前一年的两倍。

E-Pal CEO Brian表示:我们很荣幸能够携手胡润研究院联合发布《2022 E-Pal·胡润美国U30创业领袖》 随着中国经济的高速发展,中国公司以及中国模式出海是当今经济全球化时代的潮流,逐渐成为一股不可忽视的力量E-Pal作为运用中国模式,结合西方本土文化发展的游戏社交平台,不仅证明了中国商业模式的包容和开放,更加深了西方游戏玩家对于新兴游戏相关产业的探索与发展E-Pal扎根北美面向世界,探索和引领海外华人创业者在新冠疫情、世界文明冲突、经济下行的严峻挑战下实现文化的传播以及产业的发展E-Pal 希望以游戏作为连接新时代年轻人的桥梁,以融入不同文化倾听不同声音为基石,将爱与和平传递到世界每一个角落。”
