All of them focused on AI and knew they wanted to start something together.Given that two of them needed Canadian visas, as they looked at problems to solve using AI and automation, immigration naturally kept coming up.Gale was first focused on Canada, but after being accepted into Y Combinator, they shifted toward the larger US immigration market, starting with the H-1B visa.So, here’s what we’re going to discuss:🔹 Rahul and Rishabhs’ backgrounds, immigration stories, and what got them into technology.🔹 Their studies in U of Waterloo, desire to start a company, and how they landed on immigration.🔹 What it was like to launch Gale, their YC experience, and pivot to US immigration law.🔹 How Gale works, where the company is headed, and thoughts on immigration AI in generalAnd more!So please join us, ask questions and leave comments!#immigration #immigrationlaw #relocation #globalmobility #legaltech----Check out Gale here: https://galevisa.com/Follow Rahul on LinkedIn here:   / rahulgudise   and Rishabh here:   / rishabhsamb  Digital marketing for immigration & global mobility firms at GMI Rocket: https://gmirocket.com/​Digitize your LCA posting and PAF process with LaborLess: https://laborless.io/
