What sets us apart

An immigration partner built for portfolios

1
Track every visa across your portfolio
Whether you're sending 5 YC founders through O-1A applications or helping a dozen portfolio hires relocate, we offer volume pricing that makes immigration a portfolio-level benefit, not a per-company headache.
2
Bulk pricing across your portfolio
Whether you're sending 5 YC founders through O-1A applications or helping a dozen portfolio hires relocate, we offer volume pricing that makes immigration a portfolio-level benefit, not a per-company headache.
3
Filed in 14 days, not 14 weeks
We move at the pace your founders expect. From first call to filing in as little as 10-14 days, because a founder waiting three months for a visa is a founder not shipping product.
4
We speak startup, not just legalese
Founded by the team behind Crimson Education, we've helped thousands of ambitious people navigate complex systems. We understand fundraising timelines, accelerator demo days, and why a visa delay before a board meeting is a crisis, not a minor inconvenience.

Visa options

The right visa for every founder in your portfolio

Different founders need different paths — nationality, role, achievements, and timeline all shape the best route. We assess every founder's situation and recommend the strongest visa strategy, whether they're heading to the US, Australia, the UK, Canada, or New Zealand.
