Free for talent · already in the US
Tick “needs sponsorship”
and the app disappears.
A sponsorship checkbox is where too many qualified candidates disappear.
Job boards auto-reject that checkbox. Founders often want you — they just won't take sponsorship risk.
Plain answer
Yes — Talvo can employ you.
You work on a YC company's team. Talvo is your employer, so we can handle employment and, when needed, H-1B petitions or transfers. The startup runs the work. You stop dying on the sponsorship checkbox.
The trap
“Do you need sponsorship?” → Yes → never hear back. Not because you’re bad. Because the ATS filtered you out.
How Talvo helps
Company doesn’t have to sponsor. We employ you. You still do the job on their team.

Who this is for
People already in the US with valid work authorization today — for example OPT, STEM OPT, H-1B, green card, or citizen. We are not for people outside the US waiting on a first visa.
- F-1 OPT
- STEM OPT
- H-1B
- Green card
- Citizen
- Other US status
H-1B filings are not guaranteed (lottery, timing, eligibility). Green card support is case-by-case — not part of the standard path.
