About Boundless Immigration
We're a team of immigrants and experts who have struggled with our own journeys through the complex, high-stakes U.S. immigration system. That is why we are building deeply customer-centric products and experiences to become the default trusted partner for all families and businesses. We are the largest player in the family immigration industry, and a high-growth challenger serving corporate clients. Across both consumer and business segments, we've aided over 100,000 individuals and 1,000 businesses to successfully navigate the convoluted immigration process.
We're backed by influential venture investors around the country, including Foundry Group (led by Brad Feld), Trilogy Equity Partners, Pioneer Square Labs, Emerson Collective (Laurene Powell Jobs' foundation), Two Sigma Ventures, and Jerry Yang.
Today, we are a dynamic growth-stage technology company with 350+ employees across the U.S. and Philippines. We are growing both organically and through strategic acquisitions. We are well-capitalized and on our way to becoming the largest immigration company in the world and first trusted brand in the industry.What You Will Do
