Frequently Asked Questions
That is exactly what the Build-to-Visa Sprint is designed for. We help you identify a problem worth solving based on your skills, experience, and target market. Many successful cases started without a business, but with the right structure.
A functional product or service that demonstrates real market engagement. Not a mockup. Not a slide deck. Something that evaluation panels can see, test, and understand as a credible business.
No. We handle the technical development. What you bring is domain expertise, market insight, and the founder drive to make it work. The combination of your knowledge and our build capability is what makes the sprint effective.
Timelines vary depending on your country, industry, and the complexity of the MVP. But we are known for quick turnaround. We will map out a realistic timeline during your Starter Call.
If your initial concept does not work, we help you pivot. The Build-to-Visa Sprint is designed to be iterative. If the initial concept does not gain traction, we adjust before submission. The goal is a defensible application, and sometimes that means changing direction early.
It is more than an alternative. A job ties you to one employer and one visa sponsor. A founder visa gives you independence, residency, and the ability to build on your own terms. Many professionals find this path more secure long-term.
Build-to-Visa provides non-legal strategic preparation and dossier support for founder visa routes. We do not provide legal advice, legal representation, or handle legal filings. Outcomes depend on evaluation panels, policy conditions, and client execution.
