What it’s like to be a founder of a relocation startup?

Hey, I’m Kate, co-founder of Migroot—a project that simplifies global moving and visa processes. Here’s what running this kind of business actually looks like:

1/ Getting messages from friends, acquaintances, and random strangers online like:
“How do I move to Malaysia/Australia/Antarctica?” (Usually with zero context about income, visa types, or anything remotely useful. 😂)

2/Answering, at least five times a day:
“I make less than $1,000/month—where can I move?”
And politely suggesting they focus on earning more first because, let’s be real, living abroad on a tiny budget isn’t a vibe—it’s survival.

3/ Fielding questions like:
“When will AI agents replace immigration lawyers?”
Oh, how I wish I knew! Maybe when AI stops hallucinating and starts giving legal advice that doesn’t sound like a fever dream.

What’s the funniest or most unexpected question someone’s asked you about your business recently? 👀
