About Sophie Alcorn
As the founder and CEO of Alcorn Immigration Law, I help tech startups and their founders obtain visas and green cards to live and work legally in the United States. A second-generation immigration attorney, I am also a Certified Specialist in Immigration and Nationality Law, a rare accreditation from the State of California Board of Legal Specialization. I author TechCrunch's Ask Sophie™ weekly immigration column, where I answer questions and share insights on U.S. immigration for tech entrepreneurs and professionals. My mission is to empower the world's best and brightest tech talent to pursue their dreams in the U.S. and to drive innovation and economic growth. I am passionate about AI, ML, biotech, space tech and robotics, and I regularly work with Sequoia, a16z, and YC-backed startups in these fields.
