VisaPal Secures $2M in Pre-Seed Funding with $10M Valuation

VisaPal did not tiptoe into immigration tech. It walked in with forms finished, evidence labeled, and a system that actually respects how high the stakes are. Founded in 2025 and launched live in December, this Manhattan-based platform is staring straight at one of the most overloaded bureaucratic machines in America and asking a dangerous question. Why does a life defining process still feel like it was duct taped together decades ago?

Fraser Spivey is the Founder driving it forward. Four-time entrepreneur. Investor across tech, biotech, and mining. Australian born, Africa raised, New York sharpened. VisaPal is not an experiment. It sits next to ProFOIA, the companion platform automating FOIA requests so immigration records stop living in filing cabinets and start behaving like data. Immigration is paperwork, memory, evidence, and timing. VisaPal treats it like infrastructure, not folklore.

On the technical side, Daniel Sadjadian serves as CTO, bringing execution discipline forged in high pressure environments, including professional racing. That mindset shows up in a platform covering all 62 USCIS visa categories, mapping 6,000+ data fields, auto generating filing ready forms, organizing evidence into USCIS compliant binders, and pushing every case through licensed attorney review before submission. Speed without sloppiness. Automation with accountability.

Monty, the AI assistant, stays free. The interview simulator stays free too. That is not generosity, it is strategy. VisaPal monetizes where the system actually breaks, with an attorney affiliate model that turns overflow, dead leads, and missed calls into revenue for law firms while giving applicants clarity instead of confusion. Lawyers are not displaced. They are looped in, compensated, and scaled.

The company has opened a $2M pre-seed round at a $10M pre-money valuation, its first institutional capital following launch. Early traction is coming from organic demand, ProFOIA cross traffic, and initial lawyer partnerships. No victory laps. Just usage and signal.

Immigration is a $12B+ market growing because global talent is not slowing down and policy complexity never politely simplifies itself. VisaPal is betting that automation plus attorney oversight beats chaos plus invoices. Faster. Cheaper. Cleaner. If visas are passports to opportunity, VisaPal is trying to make sure the process does not break people before the plane ever leaves the ground.
