Migrant Founders Circle: Cowork & Connect
🚀 Thinking about how to grow your company in the United States as a migrant founder?
Join us in San Francisco for Impact Migrant Founders Circle — Cowork Day, a morning designed for both productivity and community, where you can make tangible progress on your work while connecting with other migrant founders building their companies in the U.S.
This is an intentional Cowork Day: bring your laptop, set a clear goal for the morning, and work alongside people who understand the opportunities and challenges of building as migrant entrepreneurs. The space is created to support both focused work and meaningful interactions, with snacks available throughout the event and on-site phone booths if you need to take a private call or step into a meeting without interruptions.
More than just a coworking session, this gathering is about building real community. You’ll have the chance to meet fellow founders, exchange ideas, talk openly about what you’re building, and leave with valuable new connections and practical ways to support one another. We’ll also share insights on how to align your immigration pathway with your business goals, so your visa strategy can grow in step with your company.
