questions?
we have answers.
What types of talent do you represent?
At Southpaw Talent Management, we represent a diverse range of talent, including: founders, AI startups, VCs, actors, models, artists, UI/UX designers, podcasters, YouTubers, content creators, and performers. Our focus is on elevating your career through tailored management and opportunities.
itinerary, deal memos, and multiple employers?
When a company sponsors an O-1 visa, the worker is completely dependent on that one single employer to maintain their work authorization. A layoff means the visa holder loses work authorization - along with their ability to remain in the United States.
An O-1 agent removes this single point of dependency. Even if one job ends, your visa remains valid, giving you stability and time to secure your next opportunity.
DO YOU OFFER SUPPORT FOR FOUNDERS?
Yes, of course! From solo founders to founding teams at early-stage startups, with an O-1 agent you gain:
- A legally valid petitioner (not just “self-petitioning”)
- Flexibility to cover multiple projects (startup + speaking + advisory roles).
- Protection against sudden loss of status if one of your work engagements suddenly ends.
- Peace of mind that your visa is structurally sound and independent of company control.
what are your fees?
$1,000 flat-fee. Payments are due up front.
Includes: Comprehensive O-1 agent compliance and career support. Unlimited work itinerary updates, amendments, renewals, employment verifications, USCIS responses and email support.
- You are free to leave the agent relationship at any time without incurring additional fees
- No refunds to the annual fee are provided

- Act as the official petitioner with USCIS
- Maintain your work itinerary and compliance
- Guide any team members through the petition process
- Collaborate with you or your team as needed for documentation
- Remain compliance contact throughout the O-1 period
An important note: we do not provide legal services, but work closely with experienced immigration attorneys.
