The Washington Founder Institute was featured on the Seattle Times in a piece titled "Entrepreneurial spirit knows no borders" by Karl Baker.
The article highlights Founder Institute’s graduate Denis Kiselev’s entrepreneurial success after receiving help with new U.S. immigration policy through his startup. According to the article, “Kiselev came to Seattle at the end of February, initially on a short-term visa to attend a four-month entrepreneurs workshop and mentoring program, organized by a company called The Founder Institute.” Upon graduating, Kiselev founded a new startup inspired by his son, SnapSwap, an online exchange company for online video games.
“Kiselev set up the business inside U.S. borders because the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency last year eased visa restrictions on immigrant entrepreneurs.”
