You're building something real.
But there's always this voice in the back of your head.
“What if my visa doesn't get approved?”
“What if I have to leave?”
“What if I'm building on borrowed time?”
“What if everything I'm building disappears?”
You're not just building a company.
You're building while looking over your shoulder.
I know. I've been there.
The advice you've been given
“Find a co-founder for the visa”
“Get your immigration sorted first”
“Build something that looks good for USCIS”
“Join an accelerator for the visa sponsorship”
“You need a lawyer before you need customers”
All of it?
Wrong.
What if...
It's not a visa problem?
It's a business problem.
Fix the business. The visa follows.
I've been where you are.
Not as a coach looking in. As someone who lived it.
2016
Where I started
18 years old. Alone. No backup plan.
I landed in Canada as an international student with one suitcase and zero connections.
No family in North America. No network. No one to call if things went wrong.
Every decision I made had immigration implications. I built anyway.

20+
Investors

Banks
“You're not a fit.” “Come back when you have traction.” “We don't work with international founders.”
The moment everything changed
I stopped chasing approval.
I started building something undeniable.
No more optimizing for what investors wanted. No more building for visa requirements. Just building something so good they couldn't ignore it.
Where I am now
The visa was never the problem.
$10M+ portfolio built from nothing. Multiple companies. Multiple jurisdictions.
I can live and work anywhere I want. Not because I gamed the system - because I built something worth immigrating for.

The visa was never the problem.
Business First. Visa Second.
I don't do immigration work. I make immigration easy.
Clarity
Know exactly what you're building toward - and why it makes you undeniable to any immigration lawyer.
Structure
Entity setup, evidence portfolio, positioning - all designed so your visa case builds itself.
Optionality
Build a business that works across jurisdictions. Never be trapped by a single country's decision.
Network
When you're ready to file, I connect you with lawyers who specialize in founder cases.
I don't file visas. I don't give legal advice. I don't guarantee outcomes.
I build businesses so strong that your lawyer's job becomes easy.
