Sophie Alcorn Podcast


Feb 7, 2023

In this week’s Immigration Law for Tech Startups podcast, I am joined by Kieran White, CEO and co-founder of Return Protocol, a blockchain tech startup that empowers consumers, businesses, and communities to take transparent and value-aligned climate action. 

Kieran shares how his company has fundraised for his U.S. immigration journey, and what it's like to be a startup founder in climate tech. Kieran actually did the Extraordinary Ability Bootcamp online, a program that helps people, who have zero accomplishments, understand visas like the O-1A, EB-1, and EB-2. Kieran recently got stamped with an O-1 visa and he’s coming to the U.S. soon!
