What do America’s innovators look like? While the stereotype may be Facebook FB +1.09% founder Mark Zuckerberg, the truth, according to a new study out today, couldn’t be more different.

Turns out many of the country’s successful innovators are older, come from highly educated immigrant backgrounds and rather than being 20-something Harvard dropouts, they’ve usually toiled for decades in their fields.
