This is fantastic, incredible news for startup founders around the world. Whether you’re in the U.S. or not, whether you’ve ever had an H1-B, working visa, or student F1 visa or not – it doesn’t matter – you can still qualify for this program if you meet the requirements.

They want to support international startup founders to build companies because they know this is a job creation engine for the United States. We all know our economy has hit some bumps in the road with COVID, and so anything we can do to create jobs would be beneficial for this program, our country, and the world.
