“Space Tech for Immigrants: Insights from Sophie”

Dear Sophie Immigration Maze 3 4
Sophie is passionate about transcending borders, expanding opportunity, and connecting the world by practicing compassionate, visionary, and expert immigration law. TechCrunch+ members receive access to weekly “Ask Sophie” columns; use promo code ALCORN to purchase a one- or two-year subscription for 50% off. I’m interested in working in space technology and will be applying for jobs in that field while I’m on OPT. I’ve heard that most space tech companies are reluctant to hire individuals on F-1 student visas due to export rules and other compliance issues. Working in space tech can be tricky for an immigrant on OPT, H-1B or an O-1A.

Getahead: Insurtech Giant Getsafe Secures Student Loan Platform for Upstream Client Expansion

Getsafe Ceo Christian Wiens And Deinestudienfinanzierung Ceo Bastian Krautwald
European insurtech company Getsafe has acquired deineStudienfinanzierung, an aptly named German digital platform for student loans that was showcased on the local version of “Shark Tank” in 2019. “Student loans are the second most popular form of external student financing in Germany after [grants]. Unlike in the U.S., universities in Germany are largely tuition-free, which means that student loans are generally used to cover living expenses. The financing volume has returned to previous levels since.”Just like Getsafe didn’t invent insurance, deineStudienfinanzierung didn’t invent student loans. By the time customers apply for a student loan, the barriers to switch are quite high.
