Relogate turns a career into a case

A stranger opens your file. You have spent years building products, managing teams, winning customers. The stranger has none of that history. What sits between you is a stack of documents. Relogate’s business begins with this awkward encounter: the distance between doing something valuable and making its value legible to someone who has never met you.

01 / The career needs a translator

Think of the two audiences an accomplished professional must address. A former colleague remembers the difficult launch and the decisions that rescued it. An immigration reviewer sees a job title. The colleague can supply context; the file must carry its own. A recommendation letter, a measurable contribution, an explanation of a technical achievement: these are the bridges between the two.

Relogate offers help building those bridges. Its UK Global Talent work includes gathering professional evidence and preparing application materials. Its US offering covers O-1, EB-1 and EB-2 NIW case preparation. France brings a wider menu of talent, innovative-project, business-creation and visitor routes. The customers include tech specialists, founders, artists and researchers whose expertise may travel more easily than the paperwork describing it.

The division of labour matters. Relogate’s legal information identifies the business as a provider of copywriting and general consulting. Its attorney page describes researchers examining a client’s background, writers preparing recommendation letters and a personal manager coordinating the work. Partner attorneys take responsibility for legal matters. In the US workflow, the attorney develops the strategy and checks the completed case.

02 / Five cases make the percentage interesting

Approval percentages make handsome advertising. A smaller number can be more revealing. Writing in Startups Magazine, CEO Alexey Popovich described 16 Innovator Founder cases completed by his team over roughly 18 months. All eventually obtained endorsement. Eleven succeeded on the first attempt. Five needed a second submission.

That distinction is useful. An eventual success rate compresses the revisions, extra work and waiting into a single pleasant result. The five cases restore some of the texture. Popovich’s explanation concerns the gap between a founder’s conviction and an endorser’s need for demonstrable innovation, a credible market and the capacity to deliver.

“You have to turn conviction into evidence.”

The lesson a reader can copy is straightforward: build an evidence inventory before polishing the pitch. List the claim, the document that supports it and the person who can confirm it. A fluent narrative helps a reviewer follow an argument. It cannot supply a missing customer, an untested market or an achievement that never happened.

03 / The founder who lost his familiar audience

Managing partner Roman Tsuper knew the problem from another direction. His public biography lists commercial roles at Yandex, Mail.ru/VK and Cian. He moved to London on a Global Talent visa in 2022. In a June 2026 interview, he described the discomfort of discovering that a substantial commercial career did not come with an equally substantial local network.

People in his existing network began asking how he had moved. He saw demand for a mobility service; returning to the corporate ladder had become less appealing. His co-founder, Popovich, had experienced relocation to France. The company’s expertise therefore mixes professional consulting with experience of becoming the newcomer.

That experience also changed the scope of the business. Tsuper says longer support evolved naturally, with some clients staying for three years or more. Permission to enter a country leaves plenty of work outstanding: establishing a business, finding specialist advice and collecting the records needed for the next immigration milestone.

04 / A business plan with somewhere to live

Startup Lab gives that wider ambition a price and a process. Its full package starts at €26,000. The stages run from shaping and validating an idea to endorsement preparation and business growth. Customer interviews, a minimum viable product strategy, financial projections and interview coaching all appear in the offering.

Modular services let clients buy individual pieces: idea validation starts at €3,000, a business plan at €7,900 and a pitch deck with financial model at €5,000. These are published starting prices, rather than evidence that every founder needs every item. The attraction is coordination across business preparation and immigration documentation.

The broader relocation network extends to Monroe Management for US agent services, Visa Franchise for business setup, Agile Fluent for job-search preparation and SafetyWing for health insurance. Relogate occupies a practical middle ground between hiring separate specialists and trying to coordinate the entire move alone.

05 / Price the work, then choose the place

Costs deserve their own conversation. Relogate lists O-1 services at €12,000-€14,500 and EB services at €17,000-€19,500. Government fees and optional processing sit separately on its US page; responses to requests for evidence carry an additional charge. Online expert consultations range from €150 to €250 an hour. A package price is one line in a relocation budget.

Fit deserves another. Popovich suggests drawing two maps: the company’s customers, capital and operating needs on one; the founder’s home and family needs on the other. They may point to different countries. Buying a convincing application before resolving that mismatch is expensive cartography.

Relogate’s proposition makes most sense when genuine achievements or a workable business need research, presentation and coordination. It becomes less useful when the underlying eligibility is absent, the venture has no credible demand or the client cannot fund the move beyond the service fee. The sensible first purchase is clarity about the evidence and the destination. The plane ticket can wait.
