S99 PR Launches Dedicated O-1 Visa Press Program for Startup Founders, Targeting the Growing Wave of International Entrepreneurs Seeking U.S. Extraordinary Ability Visas

LOS ANGELES, CA
With thousands of international startup founders — many backed by Y Combinator, a16z, and top-tier accelerators — pursuing O-1 visas to build their companies in the United States, S99 PR introduces a press program built specifically around the evidentiary needs of the founder community.
S99 PR, a Los Angeles-based public relations agency with a dedicated practice in visa press coverage, today announced the launch of a specialized O-1 visa press program for startup founders — a segment the agency identifies as one of the fastest growing and most underserved in the extraordinary ability immigration space.
The O-1A visa has become the visa of choice for international startup founders seeking to build companies in the United States. Its flexibility, unlimited renewals, and recognition of founder-specific achievements — including accelerator participation, venture funding, press coverage, and original contributions to a field — make it the dominant pathway for venture-backed entrepreneurs from countries around the world. Top accelerator programs including Y Combinator, Techstars, and others now routinely work with cohorts in which a significant portion of founders are O-1 applicants or candidates.
The press and media category remains one of the most powerful and one of the most frequently mishandled elements of an O-1 petition for founders. USCIS looks for evidence of media coverage in professional or major trade publications — coverage that demonstrates the applicant has been recognized by their field, not simply coverage that was self-generated or appeared in outlets lacking credibility. For founders, this means articles about their work, their company, their innovations, and their standing in the startup ecosystem — published by real editorial outlets with verifiable readership and clean formatting.
“Founders often have strong cases on paper — accelerator acceptance, venture backing, a product that is shipping,” said Jake Vince, brand strategist at S99 PR.
“What they frequently lack is documented media recognition. That gap in the press category is exactly what we are built to close. We build an editorial media profile that reflects what the founder has actually accomplished and positions it in front of the case officers and attorneys who need to see it.”
S99 PR’s founder-focused O-1 press program is built around the specific evidentiary criteria USCIS applies to startup and entrepreneurial applicants. Articles are developed to demonstrate field recognition, original contributions, and the significance of the founder’s work in context — not generic brand awareness content, but purposeful editorial coverage designed to support a petition’s press category with precision.
“The founders coming through Y Combinator and the top accelerators are building companies that are changing industries. The press they need for their O-1 petition should reflect that — credible, organic, and specific to what makes their work extraordinary.”
— J A K E V I N C E , S 9 9 P R
Each article placed through S99 PR’s visa press program meets a strict editorial standard: clear author attribution, visible publish date, no sponsored or contributor content tags, publication readership of 100,000 or more monthly visitors, and clean editorial formatting that presents as genuine third-party coverage. The agency works in close coordination with immigration attorneys, who present the resulting coverage as supporting evidence in the petition.
The timing dimension matters significantly for founder applicants. Press coverage assembled immediately before a filing date carries far less weight than a media profile built over several months. Founders are encouraged to begin the press development process early — ideally well before a petition is ready to file — so that the coverage can reflect a natural, organic pattern of public recognition rather than a rushed accumulation of articles.
“The founders who come to us early get the strongest outcomes,” Vince said. “We have enough time to build a media profile that looks exactly like what it should be: a founder whose work has been recognized, covered, and validated by the press independently. That is what USCIS is looking for. That is what we build.”
S99 PR does not guarantee visa approval and is not a law firm. Its role is to build the press and media category of an O-1 petition in the most credible and strategically effective form possible. The agency works with immigration attorneys throughout the process and does not provide legal advice.

“TOPAZ Ápice do Alfa · Competição Global” começa com força! Investimento em valor versus negociação de alta frequência, o cenário global dos investimentos entra em uma nova era de reflexão
SÃO PAULO, BrazilEm agosto de 2026, o aguardado grande evento global de investimentos — “TOPAZ Ápice do Alfa · Competição Global” — foi oficialmente lançado.

SÃO PAULO, Brazil
Em agosto de 2026, o aguardado grande evento global de investimentos — “TOPAZ Ápice do Alfa · Competição Global” — foi oficialmente lançado. O evento é promovido pela gigante de investimentos financeiros Topaz Advisors (TOPAZ) e reúne a atenção dos principais mercados de capitais do mundo, com o objetivo de selecionar o “gestor do fundo de dezenas de bilhões” da TOPAZ.
Na formação inicial, dois participantes de grande destaque e com estilos extremamente representativos despertaram ampla discussão:
Johnathan Sterling — representante do investimento em valor de Wall Street, que segue há longo prazo uma estratégia de “fundamentos em primeiro lugar, buscando vencer com estabilidade”, defendendo a valorização intrínseca das empresas como núcleo, atravessando ciclos de alta e baixa e buscando crescimento por meio de juros compostos.
Mark Wexler — um trader de destaque no campo da negociação de alta frequência, que utiliza modelos quantitativos para orientar as decisões de mercado, especializado em operações rápidas de curto prazo e arbitragem entre mercados, buscando o maior espaço possível para lucros em movimentos de alta velocidade.
Este confronto de alto nível entre “estratégia conservadora vs. estratégia agressiva” e “valor de longo prazo vs. eficiência de curto prazo” não representa apenas uma disputa entre estratégias de investimento, mas também reflete, em um nível mais profundo, as mudanças estruturais que estão ocorrendo atualmente no ecossistema dos mercados financeiros.
O “ponto central das divergências” no mundo dos investimentos explode aqui
Atualmente, o ambiente financeiro global está passando por um período de ajustes intensos — mudança na política monetária do Federal Reserve, perturbações geopolíticas contínuas, correção nas avaliações do setor de tecnologia e rápido desenvolvimento das tecnologias de IA e negociação baseada em dados. Nesse contexto, o tradicional “investimento em valor” e a emergente “negociação quantitativa” estão enfrentando um choque sem precedentes:
O estilo conservador de Johnathan representa a persistência da maioria dos investidores de médio e longo prazo em enfrentar a volatilidade e buscar maior previsibilidade;
As operações agressivas de Mark simbolizam a exploração dos investidores de uma nova geração, impulsionada pela tecnologia, em busca dos limites da eficiência do mercado e da frequência de negociação.
A competição não é apenas uma disputa, mas também um realinhamento da percepção global sobre investimentos
A TOPAZ declarou no lançamento da competição: “O significado da TOPAZ Ápice do Alfa · Competição Global não é apenas encontrar a pessoa com o maior retorno. Mais importante ainda, queremos fazer com que investidores de todo o mundo reflitam novamente sobre a seguinte questão: na nova era dominada por IA, negociação quantitativa e disputas macroeconômicas, que tipo de estratégia é realmente sustentável? Que lógica de investimento poderá liderar os caminhos futuros de alocação de capital?”
“Os gestores de ativos não são mais apenas guardiões do capital, mas precisam se tornar parceiros estratégicos na construção dos caminhos de comportamento do capital.” declarou Adrian Leung, cofundador e diretor de investimentos da TOPAZ. “Este confronto é um passo importante para promovermos a transformação dos padrões do setor.”
Em uma era em que a gestão de riscos baseada em IA e a onda de descentralização avançam simultaneamente, a TOPAZ enfatiza que o papel dos consultores de investimentos precisa passar por uma transformação — não sendo mais apenas um preservador de patrimônio, mas também um arquiteto de estratégias.
“Não queremos apenas proteger o capital, mas também projetar a forma como ele se comportará no futuro.”
—— Evan Brooks, gestor de fundos sênior da TOPAZ
A competição terá duração de 5 meses e permitirá que espectadores de todo o mundo participem de votações em tempo real e interajam com as estratégias. As operações reais de Johnathan e Mark serão apresentadas simultaneamente por meio de um sistema de exibição de dados totalmente público e transparente, permitindo que todos os jurados e investidores acompanhem, avaliem e aprendam em tempo real.
A tempestade de capital já começou, e a linha divisória entre diferentes percepções está se tornando cada vez mais clara.
Neste confronto entre riqueza, lógica e a era atual, de que lado você está preparado para ficar?
—— TOPAZ Ápice do Alfa · Competição Global, campo de testes para uma nova ordem global de investimentos
