| LAVA Healthcare: Funding your venture with EB-5 investors. The EB-5 visa for immigrant investors provides a method for foreign nationals to obtain a green card by investing money in United States businesses. To obtain the visa, individuals must invest at least $1,000,000 (or $500,000 in companies sited in high unemployment or rural areas), creating or preserving at least 10 jobs for US workers excluding the investor and their immediate family. The program has been steadily gaining momentum, with over $6Bn invested by thousands of foreign nationals in 2013. Investments range from seed to growth financings.This month's LAVA Healthcare program features Robert Whyte, founder and CEO of EB5USADirect, an intermediary that matches prospective EB-5 foreign investors with US companies seeking capital.
