Behind every outstanding immigrant founder you meet, likely there’s a complex story of how many hoops they had to jump through in order to get here.

Just ask Skyless Games cofounder Arad Malhotra, who recently refreshed our memories at #FailFest of how close he came to giving up on his entrepreneurship dreams because of a looming expiration date on his immigrant status.

That’s what a panel of three immigrant founders and an immigration attorney will aim to tackle on May 18 at the Microsoft Reactor Philadelphia during Immigrants and Entrepreneurship: A Panel Discussion.

Here’s the lineup of speakers:
