U-Labs
An invite-only community where technical immigrants build and collaborate together
- 40% of Fortune 500s exist because of immigrant founders.
- 51% of unicorn startups? Founded by at least one immigrant.
- And at least 25% of those were built by former international students.
Yet, too many technical immigrants and international students build in isolation: working late nights, limited by visa restrictions, navigating an ecosystem that wasn't designed for them.
Turn curiosity into action.
