S9 Bonus: The Immigration Risk Fabric: Bypassing Legal Friction with Data-Driven Onboarding Maps and Global Mobility Engines with Leonardo Shapiro, Founder & CEO of Not Alien

Leonardo Shapiro is originally from Mexico City. His family was from Russia and Poland, but ended up being in Mexico City after being denied from the US. He is an outdoorsy person, and loves to walk and hike. And in fact, he used to be a scuba diving instructor in college, and he loves to spend time in spaces like the underwater. He's also a foodie, and loves coffee and wine.

For Leonardo, the immigration process into the US was a very hard process. He went on the search for a product that would make this process easier, and he couldn't find it. He wanted to fix this, and provide something for his fellow "not" alien's.

This is the creation story of Not Alien.
