“Craig is absolutely incredible. We were sent his direction when our CEO had difficulty obtaining a work visa to stay in The States. Craig immediately picked up the ball and navigated the political channels to get us meetings with lawmakers, intro's to high profile individuals, a BarackObama.com video interview on immigrant founders, and most recently the opportunity to have dinner at the White House. Craig is not only incredibly smart, but he's also so damn cool, and he knows what he's doing. It's really been an absolute pleasure working with him and I'd recommend him any day! Thanks again, Craig!”

White House Startup Visa memo
-
Upon request from a top venture capitalist, put together a memo on a rapid turnaround schedule for a high-ranking White House staff pitching the startup visa as an economic development and jobs proposal — representing a significant departure from the traditional immigration framing.
The primary impact was a mention of startup visa in the 2012 State of the Union as part of the President's minimally acceptable immigration package.
