What JumpStart does

Jumpstart Immigration (legal entity Go Jumpstart LLC, California) is a tech-enabled U.S. immigration services platform that files nonimmigrant visas (O-1, E-2, L-1) and self-petitioned green cards (EB-1A, EB-2 NIW) for international founders, executives, and operators. The company serves a primarily B2C persona — credentialed founders and operators from 30+ countries including a heavy Latin American tilt — and is beginning to extend into a B2B employer-sponsored model for companies handling multiple cases. As of the input data, 1,250+ clients have been served across roughly two years of operation, with clients drawn from or affiliated with Meta, MIT, Y Combinator, Apple, NASA, NVIDIA, Harvard, Spotify, and Stanford per published logos and case studies.

The core product is built on a proprietary AI methodology trained directly on 600+ real USCIS adjudicator decisions rather than templates. Every petition goes through a triple-review pipeline — AI benchmarks against past decisions and flags weak points, paralegals stress-test the narrative and exhibits, and U.S. immigration attorneys complete final legal review. The platform includes a case management dashboard with role-based access for HR, finance, managers, and candidates. A 100% refund guarantee plus government filing fee insurance (up to US$600) and a published three-week filing timeline (versus a 4-6 month industry standard) are marketed as the central differentiators, supported by a reported 98% approval rate across the four flagship visa categories.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time professional service fees: US$8,000 per visa package and US$12,000 per green card package, with installment plans available and an optional Premium Processing add-on at +US$3,000. Distribution is a sales-led motion centered on 40-minute strategy calls, supplemented by content/SEO (200+ blog articles), a Substack newsletter, earned media in Latin American tech press, a partner referral network across 30+ countries (with partners earning ~$10K per approved case), and an emerging employer sales motion. The company also operates a Client Perks Program (Globalfy, Brex, Advogado de Startup), a Partner Program, and a small portfolio investment arm backing AI-first startups such as Strim and NeuraLake. The founding team of four — Fabiano Rocha (CEO, MIT Sloan), Bianca Junqueira (CRO, YC S21), Nhu-Y Le (Chief Legal, ex-Microsoft Immigration Counsel), and Liuri Loami (CTO, ex-Artifact/CloudKitchens/Booking.com) — controls the company, which is private with no disclosed institutional funding in the input.
