Listen: KC immigrant entrepreneurs share their stories

February 23, 2017  |  Meghan LeVota

In light of recent news, Startland News focused this month’s Innovation Exchange on the intersection of immigration and entrepreneurship.

U.S. immigration policy has a profound impact not only on society but also the nation’s entrepreneurial vibrancy, which prompted a discussion including a researcher and policy expert, a local immigration attorney and pair of immigrant entrepreneurs.

If you weren’t able to make it to the event, we’ve clipped together the important parts you missed. In the conversation we hear personal stories from Kansas City immigrant entrepreneurs about how they arrived in the United States, explore how the H-1B Visa works and jump into the impact that immigrant entrepreneurs have on the nation’s economy.

Hope you enjoy!
