U-Labs NYC Series: Emmanuel Straschnov

​​​U-Labs NYC is an invite-only gathering point for immigrant engineers, scientists, and founders in NYC. Through a curated series of sessions we’re creating high-quality environments for founders to learn, connect, and take their first steps toward building venture-scale companies.

​​​In this session, Emmanuel Straschnov, co-founder of Bubble, will share his story of turning a side project into the world’s leading no-code platform. He’ll discuss resilience, building without permission, and how immigrant founders can carve their own path.
