In this episode of Fundraising Radio we had an unusual guest - Sophie Alcorn, a well known immigration lawyer in Silicon valley and Founding Partner & Certified Specialist Attorney in Immigration and Nationality Law. This episode focuses on how to move to the US if you are a startup founder or an investor, emphasizing the O-1 Visa and all the requirements for it. If you are a US citizen or have a green card, I suggest you skipping the first 20 minutes of the episode, since later on we talked about approaching investors, incorporating and seeking funds in the Valley. 

Sophie Alcorn is also starting her own podcast soon: Immigration Law for Tech Startups. I will inform everyone when it will get live.
