Deedy, an X user, argues that Indian-born founders keep building AI and tech companies in the US because capital is easier to raise with less dilution and US startups pay about $1M a year.

He lists US AI and tech companies, including Perplexity, Skild, Baseten and Cursor, that each have at least one Indian-born founder. He also says the economic gap between the US and India is at least an order of magnitude for technologists. The claims come from his post, and the post does not include supporting data.
