Starting a company in the U.S. as a non-citizen founder comes with a maze of visa questions that generic startup advice rarely answers.

  1. Which visa actually lets you run your own company?
  2. Can you self-sponsor?
  3. What happens to your status if your startup pivots, raises a round, or doesn't take off right away?

​Join Manifest Law for a practical session built specifically for international founders.
The speaker will discuss:

  • ​The visa categories founders actually use, including O-1A, E-2, and EB-1A/EB-2 NIW, and how they compare
  • ​What it takes to qualify when you're building the company yourself rather than being hired by one
  • ​How funding, revenue, and traction factor into your case
  • ​Common pitfalls that put a founder's status at risk, and how to plan around them

And more!
​Whether you're pre-launch, fundraising, or already running a growing company, this session will help you understand your options and build a visa strategy that keeps pace with your business.
Please come with your questions and scenarios.
