What happens after the visa gets approved?
In this episode of Off To The Valley, I sit down with Nino Melikidze, co-founder and CEO of Immitracker, to talk about the invisible side of immigration, the identity shifts, career resets, and emotional weight that don’t make it onto official paperwork.
Nino shares what it felt like to start over in Canada, how long it really takes to feel at home, and why she created a product that helps thousands of immigrants navigate that transition.
We talk about:
✔ Moving between countries and cultures
✔ Building Immitracker from personal experience
✔ The emotional math behind product-market fit
✔ B2C vs B2B as a solo founder
✔ What she’d do differently if she started today
This is an episode for anyone who’s ever had to start from scratch and wants to build something meaningful in the process.
