Tech Nation’s Post

📑Taking a look at our #GlobalTalentVisa Success Stories! Today we’re spotlighting Kai Ding, a #EdTech and #AI expert who joined our visa programme in 2023. 📍 Current role: Product Strategy at Preply 🧠 Previous experience: National Strategy and Planning Manager at Uber 🌐 Specialist sector: Educational Technology and Artificial Intelligence 💭 Why did you choose the UK for the next stage of your career? “It may sound crazy but I have never visited the UK before I moved here! What helped me make the decision is a graduate school alum from UCB who was a Global Talent Ambassador. I learned that UK tech was growing very strong, with an amazing diverse culture and an openness for talent you won’t see much elsewhere (GTV is a testimony). So I took the leap of faith and couldn’t be happier with the decision.” 🇬🇧 What’s been a standout UK career highlight for you? "Professionally, I joined Preply which is an Edtech startup that recently raised a $100m Series C. For the few months since I started, we’ve added probably over 100-200 employees. More exciting to me is the potential for new technologies such as AI to empower language learning. It is close to my heart, because I always consider myself a global citizen and I’m raising a 2-year old to be bilingual (at least). Personally, I am so positively amazed by the diversity in London, and there’s no cultural barrier whatsoever. It’s also an amazing city to raise a family, with all the parks and amazing museums to explore."

Yesterday's post from Tech Nation about me and my Global Talent Visa made me reflect on my journey and why I am doing what I am doing. I remember very well my pre-visa life when relocation to the UK seemed completely unattainable. A girl from a middle-class family in a small industrial town in Eastern Ukraine - how dare I even think about moving to London? A combination of life events and (very) hard work led me to the point of 'do or do not, there is no try,' and I did - I applied and received my Tech Nation Visa. It's much more than a stamp in my passport, it turned out to be a life-changing decision I never regretted. One of the reasons I came to London was to build and grow Blue Lake VC, where we are investing in exceptional immigrant founders. When I talk about immigrant founders, I often describe them as those without a plan B. I didn't have one, and I still don't. Both of my homes in Ukraine have been under occupation since 2014 and 2022. I literally have nowhere to return to, and if I did, I would need to start everything from scratch again. This is why I resonate with founders in similar situations. We have no choice but to keep building and creating. This is why I am passionately believe in our thesis to back immigrant founders for whom failure is simply not an option. I have an opportunity to build and create here thanks to Tech Nation, and the immense support I received from team and the visa community. Natasha Takhar Susan Fowler Lisa Gray Josh Winfield-Harris Oli Monks I am forever grateful for your warm welcome when I arrived and was taking my first steps here. For those doubting themselves while considering relocation especially if you know this will help you to achieve your goals - go for it. It's super scary, but totally worth it. Special thanks to my co-founder David Gilgur who have been supporting me in this journey.

🌍 Taking a look at our #GlobalTalentVisa Success Stories! 🌍 Today we’re spotlighting Ized Uanikhehi, a #Growth expert who joined our visa programme in 2023. 📍 Current role: Co-Founder & CEO at Zedi Inc. 🧠 Previous experience: Director of Marketing at MAX 📈 Specialist sector: Growth, Marketing & HRTech 💭 Why did you choose the UK for the next stage of your career? “As a founder of tech startups, I know that a successful business requires more than just a great idea. A stable political environment, supportive government initiatives for tech businesses, well-developed financial markets, access to capital, excellent digital infrastructure, including reliable internet connectivity and availability of top-quality talent are all crucial factors for success. Fortunately, the UK offers all of these essential elements, making it an ideal location for tech startups to thrive and that’s why I choose to move to the UK.” 🇬🇧 What’s been a standout UK career highlight for you? " As a new business owner, I'm excited to share one of my highlights from the past three months: registering my company and landing my first client. While I know there are even bigger accomplishments ahead, this was a major milestone for me. I've also been grateful for the support of other alumni from the Technation visa program. It's been amazing to see how everyone bands together to offer not only resources, but connections to potential clients. The community has truly gone above and beyond to help each other succeed."
