Can You Actually Run Your Startup on a Visa?

Founder Immigration, Hiring & Fundraising — Without Risking Your Status

March 3, 2026 • 8:00 AM PST
Live on Zoom • Free Registration

Hosted by Primum Law Group in collaboration with an experienced Erum Choudry, a U.S. Immigration Attorney advising global founders, startups, and tech companies.

Is This Webinar for You?

This session is specifically for startup founders who find themselves asking:

Am I actually allowed to work for my own company?”
“Will fundraising, payroll, or equity put my immigration status at risk?”
“What if I hire the wrong way and trigger immigration or labor law issues?”
“Are the immigration headlines exaggerated — or should I genuinely be worried?”

If any of these questions are slowing down your decisions, keeping you up at night, or making you second-guess growth — this webinar is for you.
Instead of fear, rumors, and worst-case scenarios, we’ll give you clear answers, practical frameworks, and founder-specific guidance so you can move forward with confidence.

What You’ll Learn

By the end of this session, you will understand:

Whether your current immigration status supports your role as a founder
The visa options that actually work for startup founders (and which don’t)
How to structure compensation (salary, equity, consulting) without violations
When hiring employees or contractors creates immigration risk
How to plan ahead — without overreacting to headlines
