Case Study: Authentic helps its founder secure a U.S. O-1A visa with Deel Mobility
A Deel Case Study
How Deel Immigration enabled a Canadian founder to launch a NYC startup
Authentic, founded by Canadian entrepreneur Quinn Litherland, needed a way to keep its CEO in the U.S. after his OPT work authorization was set to expire. Without a clear visa path and facing uncertainty from multiple immigration lawyers, Litherland risked having to leave New York City, where he wanted to build and grow the startup. Deel, through its Deel Mobility service, provided the immigration support he needed.
Deel Mobility helped Litherland secure an O-1A visa in just three days after application submission, giving him peace of mind and freeing up time to focus on Authentic. The result was faster access to U.S. founder and investor networks, helping Authentic operate where Litherland believed it had the strongest growth advantage. Deel later became Authentic’s trusted mobility provider for future immigration needs.
