The Challenge & The Vision
We lack the foundational U.S. infrastructure for full-time hiring, limiting our access to top talent and creating legal risks. Our vision is to establish a lean, compliant Texas entity to solve these challenges head-on.
Our initial goal is to legally onboard a core team of full-time W-2 employees.
Achieve a fully scalable U.S. presence for a minimal increase in operational cost.
A smart funding model ensures a healthy runway without new capital investment.
