01 / WHY THE BAY AREA
A place with a habit of changing things.
You’ve followed the companies. Read the stories. Imagined what you could build there. A Bay Area base brings that world closer—and gives your own ambition somewhere to grow.
/ THE PRECEDENT
Apple and Google were once someone’s big idea. Build in the region that helped them become part of everyday life—and let that possibility expand your own sense of what’s achievable.
/ THE AI FRONTIER
For an AI-first founder, this is a place to be curious, challenged and inspired. OpenAI and Anthropic call San Francisco home. Your own company can find its footing in this evolving ecosystem.
/ THE CAPITAL
Some ambitions need people who can see the possibility early. A Bay Area base puts you closer to the venture ecosystem—including firms such as Andreessen Horowitz—as you build your own relationships.
You bring the ambition.
We help put your Bay Area base in place.
Companies shown are examples of the Bay Area ecosystem, not Arrived partners. Introductions and investment are not guaranteed.
02 / YOUR STARTING POINT
There’s more than one way to arrive.
ILLUSTRATIVE STARTING PLAN

Discuss local introductions and any company or immigration support you need.
A starting point, not a package. Your actual plan and price follow a conversation.
03 / BUSINESS MEETS EVERYDAY LIFE
The big decisions. The little details.
Good conversations. A familiar coffee. A place to come home to. The business matters—and so does the life around it. We help organize your company, home and move, so you have more headspace for both.
Space to build.

Already have some of this covered? Let’s start with the parts you need. Ongoing support can be included in your agreed plan.
04 / CLARITY BEFORE COMMITMENT
A big move deserves clear answers.
Peace of mind starts with knowing what’s being handled. Before you commit, your written plan makes the work, costs and responsibilities clear. Your Arrived point of contact helps follow it through.
A written scope showing what’s included, what needs your input and what comes next.
The service total and applicable mandatory charges explained upfront. Personal expenses, such as rent, deposits and travel, shown separately.
An Arrived point of contact for your agreed work, with the role of any independent professionals made clear.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET IN TOUCH?
Arrived is a concierge service. Independent attorneys provide legal advice and handle petitions under a separate legal engagement. Visa decisions, housing availability and introductions depend on third parties; we don’t promise approvals, a particular home or investment.
05 / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You don’t need every answer before you talk to us. But you should have a clearer picture.
Ask something elseOur first focus is Indian founders establishing a business and life in the Bay Area, including founders building AI-first companies. You might be planning a full move, spending part of the year there, or looking for help with an arrival that’s already underway.
No. AI-first founders are a natural part of the community we want to support, but your company doesn’t have to be an AI startup. Tell us what you’re building and the Bay Area presence you need; we’ll discuss whether our practical support is a fit.
No. We can help you explore a part-time Bay Area base while keeping your home or team in India. Your travel pattern, business needs and existing arrangements shape the plan. Any immigration or work-authorization questions need advice from an independent attorney.
Yes. Start with what you already have. We can discuss accommodation, arrival support, local setup, relevant introductions or other parts of the service without repeating work you’ve completed.
Planning, company setup, immigration support with independent attorneys, accommodation, local introductions and ongoing practical support. We agree the specific work with you in writing; you don’t have to take every service.
Independent attorneys give legal advice and handle petitions under a separate legal engagement. Arrived helps organize the agreed work and follow-through. We explain the professional responsibilities involved before you commit; Arrived is not a law firm or government agency.
Your price depends on the work you need. Before commitment, you receive a written scope and service total, with applicable mandatory charges and taxes explained. Rent, deposits, flights and other personal spending are separate. Any optional work should be a choice you understand.
Tell us who is already helping you. We can discuss a plan around your existing arrangements, including practical concierge support if immigration is handled elsewhere. Any necessary communication with your advisers needs your agreement.
You make the important choices and provide the information needed for your agreed work. You may also need to take part in discussions with qualified professionals. Your plan explains where we can take work off your plate and where your input is needed.
As soon as you have a direction in mind—even if your dates aren’t fixed. Tell us your target timing and what’s already arranged. The next steps depend on your situation and third-party availability, so we don’t advertise a fixed arrival or visa timeline.
No. Attorneys advise on immigration; government authorities make visa decisions. Housing depends on availability and landlord requirements. We can discuss relevant introduction requests, but an introduction is not a promise of funding, customers or a business outcome.
We start by discussing your plans and the support you’re looking for. If there’s a fit, we explain the next step and any paid work before you choose to proceed. Sending a message does not commit you to a package.
This launch is focused on Indian founders establishing a Bay Area base. If you have another destination or a different situation in mind, ask about fit and availability before assuming coverage.
