How a Solo Founder Built a SaaS While Navigating Immigration Visas
from The Tech Founder Podcast with Fexingo: First-Time Software Entrepreneurs and Their Journeys · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the story of a solo SaaS founder who built a profitable B2B analytics tool while navigating the U.S. H-1B visa process. They explore how the founder structured the business to remain compliant with visa restrictions—such as not paying himself a salary until year two—and how he used a Delaware C-corp and a co-founder agreement to legally hold equity. The conversation covers specific strategies for maintaining revenue growth under immigration constraints, including outsourcing payroll to a third-party employer-of-record and using a virtual mailbox to establish a registered agent. Lucas and Luna also discuss the broader implications for immigrant entrepreneurs, noting that roughly 25% of billion-dollar startups in the U.S. were founded by immigrants. This is a practical, case-driven episode for any founder facing visa hurdles or considering building a company while on a work visa. #SaaS #ImmigrantFounder #H1B #SoloFounder #Bootstrapped #DelawareCCorp #EmployerOfRecord #B2B #AnalyticsTool #VisaCompliance #FounderJourney #StartupLegal #EquityStructure #RevenueGrowth #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechFounder #ImmigrantEntrepreneur Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
