In their words
I would say the best way to give yourself a chance that you're on the road to solving a real problem is through what I like to call having unfair insights and advantages.
We've tripled our revenue consecutively over the last three years. We've processed over 4 million documents on our platform. We're looking to double that next year.
The biggest asset now is speed. And if you're not at the forefront of this speed, then you're falling behind.
Quick answers
What is Josh Green known for?
Co-founding BorderPass, which handles visa and immigration work for employers, universities and newcomers using generative AI plus in-house licensed lawyers rather than selling software to other law firms.
How did BorderPass start?
Green founded it in 2020 while working at an immigration law firm, drawing on his own experience of the system. It began direct-to-consumer, which failed, and pivoted to selling through employers and academic institutions.
Has BorderPass raised venture capital?
No. It is profitable and self-funded, and Green describes the company's posture toward raising as opportunistic. It appeared on Deloitte's Fast 50 and The Globe and Mail's Top Growing Companies list in 2025.
