AI Startup Casium Raises $5 Million to Accelerate Employer Visa Filings

Founder Priyanka Kulkarni touts lawyer‑supervised automation that assembles dossiers plus draft letters in under ten business days.

Overview

  • The seed round was led by Maverick Ventures with participation from AI2 Incubator, GTMfund, Success Venture Partners, and angel investor Jake Heller, and the company did not disclose its valuation.
  • Casium’s system deploys autonomous agents to scan public sources, recommend visa categories such as H‑1B, O‑1, or EB‑1A, and route cases to contracted licensed lawyers.
  • The company says it has supported hundreds of candidates, reports very fast intake‑to‑start timelines under a month, and cites an exceptionally high approval rate.
  • The push targets employers navigating a new Trump executive order imposing a $100,000 fee on each new H‑1B filing, a change that has triggered lawsuits from business groups.
  • Casium offers flat‑fee filings and is developing a subscription option, entering a competitive market that includes Boundless, Manifest Law, Plymouth, Parley, and OpenLaw.
