This virtual workshop will show how foreign-born entrepreneurs and start-up founders can legitimately stay in the United States, start their companies and work to grow their business.   It will also explain the basics of how US tech startups can hire and retain foreign-born talent.  

Most foreign founders ignore the first requirement for their start-up, which is obtaining the right work visa for themselves.  So we will explore the visa options available for foreign entrepreneurs.  As a startup grows, hiring the most talented people is a necessity, no matter their nationality.  So in this virtual workshop, we will review the challenges of finding the right work visa to ensure companies can hire top talent, regardless of nationality.  And lastly, we will discuss how the political climate, COVID-19 crises, and the current economy affects US Immigration laws and policies.

This virtual workshop will tell you all that you need to know about US Immigration laws regarding tech startups. We will explore the old and the new and will also venture into the uncertain!

 

In this virtual workshop, we will cover many topics, including:

  • Review the visa options available for foreign entrepreneurs, founders, visitors, students, employees, and investors.
  • How the immigration status of founders can impact their ability to fundraise.
  • Discuss the do’s and don’ts of hiring foreign students and interns.
  • Better understand the challenges that the current administration poses to a tech economy that relies on highly trained workers to compete in a global environment.
  • In-depth review of different visa programs such as the B-1, F-1, OPT, E-2, L-1, H-1B, O-1 among others.  We will also discuss the changes that are being implemented to key visa programs like the H-1B.
  • If you are an H1-B Visa holder, find out if you are in violation of your Visa by working from home.
  • And so much more, including your questions!

WHAT MAKES OUR VIRTUAL EVENTS DIFFERENT ?

Targeted Virtual Networking

We make networking more efficient and effective by allowing you to search profiles of attendees who you most want to network with.  You can then invite them for a scheduled 10 minute private 1-on-1 or group networking session, for which our system automatically helps with calendar scheduling and private zoom links.  Schedule multiple 10 minute networking sessions on your events calendar with targeted people who share your same interests, making networking more comfortable, fun and productive!

Live Video Q&A

Our event features live video Q&A, allowing founders in the audience to create meaningful connections with investor panelists, or ask essential follow-up questions to expert speakers.  Having the opportunity to be seen and heard by investors and speakers is very powerful in creating meaningful connections and real dialogue.  Our events platform allows audience members to ask their question live during the event with full video and audio.

Access to Speakers

Have access to Silicon Valley venture capitalists, well known founders and experts like never before! No matter what City, State or Country you live in, you will be able to learn, connect and ask questions to some of the best speakers and panelists within the startup ecosystem. Our live events are designed to provide you access to speakers that you normally would not have an opportunity to interact with. Connecting with the right people is crucial in helping to grow your startup or entrepreneurial career.
