d new proposed rules for International Entrepreneurs to come to the US to start businesses and create jobs. In a coordinated effort, The White House released the news in an article on Medium written by Tom Kalill, Deputy Director of Technology and Innovation at The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and Doug Rand. Doug will join me on the show to discuss these hot off the press new rules. The much anticipated rules were welcome by lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs and many more and have garnered much attention nationally as well as internationally.
