Visa & Immigration Support
We facilitate technical tracks and personalized mentorship to help scale an entrepreneur's journey.
We are specifically interested in startups that leverage AI technology to disrupt traditional business models and generate substantial value for their customers in finance and healthcare.
The amount of funding will vary based on factors such as traction and funding requirements. Our typical investment range falls between $250,000 and $2 million.
Our evaluation process takes into consideration the startup's team, technology, market opportunity, and competitive landscape and we assess that the startup has a clear path to market and a scalable, viable business model.
Our immigration support isn't limited solely to founders; it extends to their families as well. We understand the importance of family cohesion in the relocation process. However, the extent of support for family members may vary on a case-by-case basis, depending on factors such as visa eligibility, individual circumstances, and specific immigration regulations. Our goal is to facilitate a smooth transition for everyone involved, ensuring that founders and their families receive assistance tailored to their unique needs.
Absolutely! we're eager to hear more about your plans. Enabling job creation and sustainable livelihoods aligns with our core mission. If we assess that our collaboration with you contributes to these goals, we will be happy to collaborate.
The members of our team have extensive experience in the technology industry, with a collective track record spanning several decades. They have been involved in running an AI startup and have also been associated with investment communities through funds or family offices. Some of the members were part of investments in companies which are now Unicorn/Soonicorns.
We primarily focus on investing at the seed and pre-seed stages. Having a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is favorable for consideration.
Absolutely! As one of the select VCs partnered with immigration attorneys, we will handle all aspects of immigration and employment for our portfolio founders, including visa applications and green card processes. Tailoring solutions to each founder's unique circumstances, our collaborative efforts will ensure smooth immigration processes complied with U.S. laws. Our dedicated immigration team will remain actively involved with founders, adapting to changes in their personal and professional lives. Recognizing the pivotal role immigration plays, our aim is to minimize the challenges. Our ultimate goal is to empower founders to focus on innovation and realizing their vision.
Our primary emphasis is on collaborating with founders who are presently located within the United States. However, we intend to occasionally collaborate with founders who are outside the U.S. but are in the transition of relocating here.
We offer an extensive network of industry experts, mentors, and resources. Startups can expect assistance with product development, sales and marketing, and fundraising.
As a long-term investor, our typical holding period for investments in startups extends beyond five years. If a significant event such as an acquisition or initial public offering (IPO) occurs, the holding period may be subject to change. However, our partnerships with startups don’t have an expiration date.
Immigration support is integral to fundamental principles and investment approach of B21. We do not charge for immigration services separately. Instead, it's an included benefit aimed at enhancing the value of our portfolio and assisting exceptional entrepreneurs, effectively addressing a significant time-consuming aspect during the initial stages of a company.
