World-Class Talent for Your Startup's Projects

Why this works for both sides

You get: niche, top-of-field expertise on a real project, scoped to fit a startup budget.
They get: meaningful work with a great company, and a chance to show their best work.
Later: if you want them on your team in the U.S., you already know exactly who you are bringing in. Your part would be a one-page, non-binding interest letter. Their U.S. agent files the petition, not you.

How it works

Sign up free as an employer. Two minutes, no card.
Email your concept to concept@o1dmatch.com: your company, the project, the timeline, the skills you need. A person reads every concept.
We match you with talent whose record fits. You see their O-1 readiness score and the evidence behind it. Names stay private until you both agree to talk.

Who is in the pool

Engineers, researchers, designers, data scientists, creators and athletes whose work has been reviewed against the eight O-1 criteria. Most are outside the U.S. today.

What you are not taking on

No visa sponsorship and no petition. You are never the petitioner.
No USCIS filing fee.
No obligation to hire. An interest letter is non-binding.

An illustration

"TrackVision," a 22-person sports-analytics startup, had spent months trying to find a senior computer-vision specialist, and the people who could actually do the work were mostly outside the U.S. Through O1DMatch they found a biomechanics-focused researcher with an award-winning publication record and production experience at a European football club's performance lab. Their part was to talk with him, decide they wanted him, and sign a one-page interest letter describing the engagement.

Questions startups ask

Do we sponsor anyone?

No. If the person later pursues an O-1, it is filed through an authorized agent. Your company does not file.

What does it cost?

Signing up and sending your concept are free. Project terms are between you and the talent.

Does the project have to be in the U.S.?

No. Talent can work remotely from where they are now.

What should the concept email include?

Company website, a few lines on the project, timeline, skills needed.

Is this legal advice?

No. O1D Match LLC is not a law firm.
