About the role
Co-Founder & Strategic Investor - O1DMatch
It’s Like Indeed, But With Visas. O1DMatch is the first AI-powered marketplace connecting O-1 visa talent with US employers — and we’re looking for a Co-Founder and Strategic Investor to join at the ground floor. This isn’t a typical job post. This is a once-in-a-career opportunity for an international professional who wants to build something massive in the US — with their visa and green card handled as part of the deal.
The Platform
O1DMatch is live at o1dmatch.com with:
- 5 AI tools deployed and working (Visa Evaluation, Petition Generator, Exhibit Maker, VisaClear, USCIS Scoring)
- 4 user roles — Talent, Employer, Staffing Agency, Immigration Attorney
- 500+ candidates in pipeline and 20,000+ employer leads
- Provisional patent filed with USPTO
- $200K+ invested in development over 18 months
- Built on Next.js 14, Supabase, Stripe — 60+ API routes, production-ready
The Market
780,000+ professionals are rejected by the H-1B lottery every single year. They need an alternative. The O-1 visa has no lottery, no cap, and a 94% approval rate — but no infrastructure existed to connect these candidates with employers. Until now.
Who We’re Looking For
You are an international professional with extraordinary ability in technology, business, science, or venture capital. You have:
- A track record that qualifies (or could qualify) for an O-1 visa
- $150K - $900K to invest (flexible based on involvement)
- Experience building, scaling, or investing in SaaS, marketplaces, or tech platforms
- A desire to operate — this is a co-founder role, not passive capital
- Interest in a US immigration pathway (O-1, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, or EB-5)
What You Get
This is where it gets interesting. Equity: Co-Founder equity in O1DMatch — negotiable based on your investment and involvement level. You join a patent-pending platform with no direct competitors in a $2.9B addressable market. Your O-1 Visa: Filed by the CEO. Immigration lawyer and Founder of O1DMatch, is a licensed immigration attorney who has secured visas for clients at Team Canelo, NBA G League, ONE Championship, the Las Vegas Raiders, Green Bay Packers, LA Chargers, and Top Rank Boxing. He will personally prepare and file your O-1 visa petition at no additional cost. Your Green Card Pathway: Based on your profile, you will receive full legal representation for one of the following:→ EB-1A (Extraordinary Ability Green Card) — if your achievements qualify → EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) — if your work advances US innovation → EB-5 (Investor Green Card) — your investment in O1DMatch may itself qualify as the EB-5 investment. This legal work — worth $25,000 to $50,000+ — is included as part of the co-founder package.
Why This Works
Most international founders face a chicken-and-egg problem: you need a visa to build in the US, but you need a company to get the visa. We eliminate that entirely:→ The CEO is your immigration attorney → Your investment and co-founder role directly strengthens your visa case → The platform you’re building serves people in your exact situation → You’re not just investing — you’re building your own immigration success story
