About this Event

Building a company is only part of the journey. As an immigrant founder, you’re also building the professional story behind it.


Join AI Valley, MeritMap, and E1B2 for an afternoon of pickleball and community with immigrant founders and entrepreneurs navigating what comes next.


Whether you’re actively exploring O-1A or EB-1A, or simply want to better understand how to strengthen your professional profile over time, this is a chance to meet other founders on a similar journey in a relaxed setting.


No pickleball experience required. Come to play, meet people, and learn more.
