Welcome back to another episode! In this episode, we chat with Julien Denaes, founder of Alpin, which was acquired by CoreView in 2019. He was born and raised in Switzerland and decided to move to the US for his wife's postdoc, when he discovered the world of startups. He jumped in and failed at his first startup despite going through Techstars but then had 2 successful exits building enterprise SaaS all of that while navigating the immigration process.
Listen to Julien talk about:
- selling everything and moving to the US for his wife's postdoc
- being comfortable with standing out in the US
- moving to Canada and back to the US while navigating visa
- how "someone" recorded his pitch at a pitch competition in Montreal and applied to Techstars for him
- his advice to anyone starting to think about the O-1 visa
