Here are the proven, practical strategies you can use right now to grow without burning through cash: 1. Be Social  But Be Human, Too Don’t just post for the sake of posting. Pick one or two social platforms where your customers hang out  maybe TikTok or Instagram if you’re B2C, LinkedIn if you’re B2B  and focus on talking with people, not at them. Show behind-the-scenes moments, share quick videos, answer questions in your comments. People trust people, not faceless logos  and that costs you nothing but a bit of effort. 2.

When should a startup stick with EB-2 in the H-1B visa and EB-2 green card transfer process?

Image
Sticking with the EB-2 makes sense when you have a highly skilled employee who either holds an advanced degree (master’s or higher) or can clearly show exceptional ability in their field, that’s exactly what the EB-2 is for. Many startups sponsor an H-1B visa first because it’s faster for getting someone working in the U.S. quickly. But the H-1B is temporary, you need to renew it every three years, and there’s a six-year cap in most cases. So if you know this person is vital to your company’s growth, it’s smart to get the EB-2 green card process started early. When does it make sense to stick with EB-2? ✅ The role truly requires an advanced degree — or the person’s experience is so exceptional they’d qualify under the “exceptional ability” route. ✅ You want to show long-term commitment — filing for the green card signals to your team that you value them and want them to stay. ✅ You’re prepared for the PERM labor certification — most EB-2 green card cases need this step to p...
