Migrate Mate
Setting the Scene
Most immigrants don’t know where to look for jobs that offer visa sponsorship.
And for many, the stakes couldn’t be higher: once a visa expires, they typically have 60 to 90 days to land a sponsoring job, or they’re forced to leave the country they are in.
That crunch time is chaotic, filled with uncertainty, and made worse by the lack of a trusted place to find visa-backed opportunities.
This week’s company is building a better way for international job seekers to find opportunities.

Due Diligence
WHAT WE LIKE
Market Opportunity: Nearly 1B people globally want to emigrate, and in the U.S. alone, over 15 million rely on visas to stay, including hundreds of thousands of international students who risk removal each year if they can’t secure employer sponsorship.
Expansion: Starting with jobseekers, Migrate Mate can grow into employer-facing tooling that simplifies visa sponsorship, unlocking a largely untapped B2B motion.
Distribution Advantage: Immigration is inherently viral, as users who land jobs often refer peers in the same visa track, creating organic word-of-mouth loops that lower CAC.
POTENTIAL RISKS
Defensibility: While SaaS moats are thinning across the board, job aggregation has low switching costs, making speed and brand critical to differentiation.
Volume: As with platforms like LinkedIn, surfacing a job to more applicants increases competition, making it harder for individual users to land the role they applied for.
Churn: Once users get hired, they often leave the platform, creating natural churn and revenue volatility unless offset by employer-side monetization or retention loops.
Founder Profile
Mihailo Bozic, CEO: Previously led growth at Kiki and theMednet (YC W17); also founded Envited, a “Partiful for Australia” that gained early traction.
Dylan Gibbs, CTO: Previously ran a media production agency with clients including Red Bull, focused on high-end videography and creative direction.
Comps
