The Founder Launch Package: Move to the U.S. and Build Your Company Under One Roof
Every year, thousands of the world's most ambitious founders decide to bring their talent, their companies, and their capital to the United States. And every year, most of them discover the same thing: the hard part isn't the idea. It's the machinery.
To land in America and actually operate, a founder from Mumbai, Shenzhen, São Paulo, Milan, or Tel Aviv typically has to assemble an entire supporting cast — an immigration attorney, a corporate attorney, a tax advisor, an accountant, a banker, an insurance broker, a payroll provider, and eventually someone to run the numbers. Each one bills separately. Each one needs to be told the whole story again. And none of them talks to the others.
We think that's backwards. So we changed it.
One founder. One team. One path.
At Girand Law, we now offer integrated relocation and business-launch packages for founders and executives in India, China, Brazil and across Latin America, Italy, and Israel. Instead of paying for a single immigration filing and then spending the next six months stitching together a dozen vendors, you engage one coordinated team that handles the entire journey — from visa strategy to a funded, staffed, operating U.S. company.
We call our flagship offering the Founder Launch Package.
What's inside the Founder Launch Package
A single, coordinated engagement that covers the full arc of arriving in the United States and standing up a company here:
- O-1 or EB-1 immigration strategy — the extraordinary-ability pathways built for founders, executives, researchers, and creators
- U.S. company formation, including a properly structured Delaware C-Corp
- Business banking setup and treasury introductions
- Tax planning — cross-border and domestic, structured before you owe, not after
- Startup legal foundation — cap table, founder agreements, and governance
- Employment agreements for you and your first hires
- IP assignments so your company owns what it's built on
- Investor introductions through our network of angels, venture funds, and family offices
- Fractional CFO support to run your finances until you're ready to hire
- Insurance, HR, and accounting coordination through vetted partners
The legal work is performed by Girand Law. The surrounding services — banking, accounting, insurance, HR, fractional finance, and investor relationships — are delivered through a curated network of trusted partners we coordinate on your behalf. You get one point of contact and one quarterback for the entire process, instead of ten disconnected relationships and ten separate invoices.
Why a package, and not a filing?
Because a visa without a company is a plane ticket, and a company without the right structure is a liability.
The founders who succeed in the U.S. aren't the ones who simply got approved to be here. They're the ones who arrived with a Delaware C-Corp built to raise capital, a clean IP chain of title, a tax structure that anticipated cross-border complexity, and a banking and finance backbone ready on day one. Doing those things in the wrong order — or with advisors who never speak to each other — is how founders lose months, overpay in taxes, and walk into investor meetings with a cap table that has to be unwound.
A package fixes the sequencing. Your immigration strategy, your corporate structure, and your tax plan are designed together, by people who are actually talking to one another, before anything is filed.
Built for global founders
We designed these packages for the specific realities of the markets we serve:
India
Deep engineering and technical founding teams who want a U.S. presence without being held hostage by the H-1B lottery. The O-1 and EB-1 pathways reward exactly the kind of track record India's best founders already have.
China
Entrepreneurs seeking U.S. market access, a credible corporate home base, and thoughtful cross-border tax and asset planning.
Brazil and Latin America
A fast-maturing generation of fintech, SaaS, and consumer founders expanding north, who need a clean U.S. entity and investor access.
Italy
Founders and family enterprises in design, food, luxury, and manufacturing bringing established brands into the American market.
Israel
The Startup Nation's founders, for whom a U.S. entity and U.S. capital are often the next inevitable step. We help make that step orderly.
Why Girand Law
Most immigration lawyers have never built a company. Most startup lawyers have never stood in front of a family office. The Founder Launch Package works because it's run by someone who has done both.
Girand Law is a boutique federal practice spanning immigration, tax controversy, corporate and startup law, and federal litigation. Just as important, the firm is led by an attorney whose career includes co-founding and exiting a healthtech company, serving as a revenue and growth executive at venture-backed software companies, and advising ultra-high-net-worth families and family offices at institutions including Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, and Forbes Family Trust. We speak the language of founders and the language of capital because we've lived on both sides of the table.
That's what lets us do more than file paperwork. We can look at your company and tell you how an investor will see it — and then help you fix it before they do.
What we don't promise
We'll be direct, because you'd expect nothing less. No lawyer can guarantee that a visa petition will be approved, that an investor will write a check, or that a business will succeed. Immigration outcomes depend on the facts, the law, and the government. Fundraising depends on your company and the market. What we promise is a strategy built to give you the strongest possible case, executed by a coordinated team, with no step left to chance because someone assumed someone else was handling it.
