$150K Investment → $450K Return in 18 Months
We've discovered how to monetize the largest talent arbitrage in the global economy
Talented developers rejected by H-1B lottery (85% rejection rate) while 700,000 tech positions remain unfilled
Each unfilled AI position costs companies $2M in lost productivity. The talent exists but can't get visas
Companies wait years for H-1B approvals. We deliver O-1 approved talent in 4 months with 94% success
Traditional H-1B Path: 85% rejection rate, 2+ year timeline, $12K-120K cost, no guarantee
Our O-1 Path: 94% approval rate, 4-month timeline, $3K cost, proven methodology from 500+ successful cases
Transforming H-1B rejects into O-1 approved talent while capturing exceptional placement fees

Capitalizing on a massive, growing market inefficiency
$57B
670,000 annual H-1B rejects × $85,000 average placement fee
$5.7B
10% of H-1B rejects (67,000 qualified candidates) × $85,000
$42.5M
Year 3 target: 500 placements × $85,000 average fee
✓ H-1B rejection rate increasing annually (now 85%)
✓ Tech talent shortage accelerating (700,000 unfilled positions)
✓ Companies desperate for immediate solutions (2+ year H-1B wait)
✓ O-1 visa category massively underutilized in tech
✓ Remote work normalization enabling new models
Law Firms: Can't place talent, charge $15-30K, no guarantees
Recruiters: No visa expertise, can't access this talent pool
