Imera

Imera provides a platform designed to assist immigrants in navigating life in the United States. The company offers personalized, AI-driven guidance to streamline access to essential services. The platform aims to simplify processes that are often complex and bureaucratic for newcomers. Imera was founded in 2023 by Arvin Bhangu and Divya Bhargava. Bhangu, with a background as a product manager at Microsoft and experience as a venture capital investor, and Bhargava, a former software engineer at Microsoft and Amazon, both drew from their personal experiences as children of immigrants to create the platform. They identified the challenges their parents faced and aimed to build a comprehensive solution to support immigrants.

The core of Imera's offering is a centralized hub where users can find resources for various needs, including navigating the visa application process, finding housing, setting up bank accounts, and accessing healthcare. The service leverages artificial intelligence to provide tailored recommendations and step-by-step assistance. It serves as a single source of truth, intended to replace the fragmented and often unreliable information immigrants might otherwise depend on from various online and offline sources. The business model appears to be direct-to-consumer, targeting the large population of immigrants moving to the U.S. each year.
