WhatsApp → Slack: H1B Founders Community is Leveling Up!
From chat group to organized community platform: Join 800+ immigrant founders building their American dream
Hey founders,
What an incredible journey - from 0 to 800+ members in our WhatsApp community! To better support our growing discussions, we're moving our WhatsApp group to a dedicated Slack workspace while keeping all our long-form content and resources on Substack.
Why Slack? Our new Slack workspace will give us:
Organized, topic-based discussions
Better search and resource sharing
Improved collaboration tools
Live events and expert AMAs
Your New Slack Home Here's where you'll find everything:
🏠 General & Onboarding
#general: Open discussions on visas, startups, and immigration
#introductions: Meet the community and share your story
#events: Stay updated on AMAs, workshops, and meetups
🎯 Visa & Immigration
#h1b-visa: Self-sponsorship strategies and compliance
#eb1-o1-visa: Extraordinary ability visas and founder pathways
#legal-help: Lawyer recommendations and legal insights
💰 Startup & Funding
#fundraising: VC funding, grants, and startup resources
#social: Network, job posts, and founder life discussions
Staying Connected: Slack + Substack While Slack will be our daily collaboration hub, Substack remains our knowledge base:
Weekly deep dives on visa strategies, founder journeys and news from USCIS
Permanent resources from our best community discussions
Comprehensive guides on H1B, EB1, and startup topics
Expert interviews and immigration updates
Since Slack messages expire after 90 days, make sure you're subscribed to Substack to never miss crucial information and community knowledge.
Next Steps:
Introduce yourself in #introductions
Set your notification preferences for relevant channels
The WhatsApp group will remain active for few weeks to ensure everyone transitions smoothly.
See you on Slack!
