Who we are

Somewhere at the intersection between successful start-ups, acquisitions,

and targeted ads for passport covers, we're building something different.

  • As Ani advised on the literal 17th question that month about work immigration from her friends, she wondered, “when will this end?”. And as she complained on a call with Alex about how she’d become the patron saint of work visas, she realized it could end now.

    After being unable to find a company that was full-time dedicated to tech-enabled immigration, Landed was created. This is the obvious intersection of her professional experience in government tech, her lived immigrant experiences, her degrees in globalization, and her never-before-used-ability to speak multiple languages.

    Ani’s also built & scaled from 0 to 1 (and 1 to 100) repeatedly. She needs to always be (literally) on the run and doing something productive.

  • Alex’s journey started with his own permanent residency process. Having worked for a startup-turned-multinational company, he was no stranger to visa applications. But filing for permanent residency was a different story - detailing every country he worked (and worked remotely) in was both difficult and came with a side of some significant immigration implications. With little guidance online, he considered asking a lawyer, until he found that asking even a single question can cost thousands of dollars.

    After seeing firsthand how hard it was to navigate his own immigration processes alone, he knew there had to be a smarter, simpler way. With his experience scaling startups, a knack for product development, and a mild obsession with streamlining clunky systems, Landed was born.
