🎙 For Episode 90 of the GMI Rocket show, we’re talking to a fellow immigration lawyer-turned-tech entrepreneur (though he still practices law!), Mikhail Arsentiev, founder of Skylex!

Skylex is a mobile and web app that helps immediately connect individuals with immigration lawyers 24/7.

It started as a specialized chat platform (with a WhatsApp feel to it) for Mikhail and his immigration law firm, but he realized it was something others could use as well.

Since launching, Skylex has expanded to become a kind of CRM, consult booking platform and, most recently, with a coworking space offering, all with the goal of making it easy for clients to reach an immigration lawyer while also helping immigration lawyers grow their firms.

Mikhail himself is from Russia, and attended George Washington University Law School, and has been practicing immigration law for over a decade, based in Brooklyn, NY today.

So, here’s what Mikhail and I are going to be talking about:

🎙 On episode 89 of the GMI Rocket show, I’m speaking with an immigration tech founder who was let go while on an H-1B visa and launched a startup in response to help others avoid that same fate, Atal Agarwal, Founder of Immigrant First.

Originally from India where he received an engineering degree from one of the prestigious IIT schools, Atal came to the US and was on a J-1 visa, F-1 visa and eventually an H-1B visa, worked as a software engineer, and even got a master’s at UC Santa Barbara.

His career was going swimmingly until, in 2022, he found himself part of a layoff - his H-1B-sponsored job was no longer, and he now had 60 days to either find a new job or leave the US.

Over the next 2 months, Atal published a day-by-day account of his layoff which went viral, completed an Ironman race, and found a company that heard his plea and offered him a job.

But while he was seemingly spared, Atal felt he suffered an injustice. And, as he started using ChatGPT to draft his own green card application, Immigrant First was born.

So, here’s what Atal and I are going to be talking about:

🎙 Episode 88 of the GMI Rocket show is a special one for me: I get to talk to and profile long-time colleague and friend Marc Pavlopoulos, CEO of Syndesus, about Canadian immigration and how US tech companies can benefit from it.

Marc, whose roots are from Greece but who was born in and grew up in the US, attended business school in Toronto, and worked in a number of startups, both in Toronto and Silicon Valley.

Over those many years in the startup world, Marc recognized that one of the biggest needs most startups had were tech workers.

At the same time, his experience getting a student visa and a work visa in Canada made him realize how much simpler Canadian immigration was (and is) than US immigration.

So in 2014, he left his last job and launched Syndesus, which now helps US companies hire foreign-born tech workers remotely in Canada (focused on those who lose the H-1B lottery), matches vetted, skilled tech workers with Canadian employers, and provides PEO services in Canada.

Here’s what Marc and I are going to be talking about:
