This YC-backed startup raised $2.7 million to speed up US visa applications with AI. Read the pitch deck.
Briefly

Gale has secured $2.7 million in seed funding to enhance the US visa application process with AI technology. Founded by immigrant entrepreneurs, the startup emerged from Y Combinator’s winter cohort, driven by their own struggles with the visa system. The platform automates many tedious tasks of the application process, allowing users to submit resumes and passports for AI processing, followed by a quick review from a licensed lawyer. This innovation aims to streamline onboarding for applicants and reduce workload for attorneys, particularly focusing on H-1B visas.
If I wanted a question answered about my visa status, it would take the attorneys like four business days to get back to me, minimum.
Simple questions can take multiple steps to resolve because they have to be relayed up and down a chain of staff and attorneys.
Lawyers don't have to spend time on busywork or rely on paralegals for document prep.
Our goal is to make onboarding as fast as possible for applicants and to free up time for lawyers by automating repetitive tasks.
