Unlocking human potential by connecting people with the right opportunities, fostering a world where everyone can reach their full potential.
Think of it, almost a third of global venture capital funding flows to startups based in Silicon Valley. London and a few other talent hubs concentrate unprecedented resources, networks, and opportunities, like no other place. As the saying goes, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with," and this rings especially true in these talent-dense ecosystems.
Being immersed in these hubs – surrounded by world-leading talent and innovation – can transform lives, accelerate careers, and scale companies. Yet for most talented individuals worldwide, accessing these opportunities remains frustratingly out of reach.
Relocating to sought-after ecosystems is incredibly complex. Bureaucratic hurdles, ever-changing immigration requirements, and time-intensive processes drain valuable resources and delay dreams. Even the most accomplished professionals often find themselves overwhelmed by these obstacles, losing months or years navigating systems designed for a different era.
We've witnessed this firsthand through hundreds of client stories – brilliant entrepreneurs, innovative engineers, and visionary leaders held back not by lack of talent, but by lack of access.
By unlocking access to these opportunities, we empower individuals to elevate their life trajectory, creating possibilities that shape not only their own future but the lives of their families for generations to come.
We combat bureaucracy with technology, streamlined processes, and deep expertise. We're reshaping international talent mobility with a more effective and efficient approach – connecting exceptional people with exceptional opportunities, wherever they may be.
Everything we do serves one goal – helping you:
By channeling talented people to the places where the most suitable opportunities exist, we help solve the global talent-to-opportunity matching problem. When the right talent reaches the right place at the right time, everyone wins. Individuals unlock their potential. Companies access the talent they need to grow. Communities become more innovative and dynamic.
This is our contribution to a fundamental challenge of our time – and our part in making the world more open, more connected, and more prosperous for all.
By relocating to exceptional ecosystems and transforming career, social life, and family future for generations to come.
That draws exceptional talent, sparks passion, cultivates potential, and empowers people to thrive as their whole selves.
Whether it's a client considering relocation or a potential colleague considering joining our team, our message remains the same: Go where you're valued. Live where you thrive.
We are a team of cosmopolitan professionals spread across the globe, helping others achieve their international dreams. The name Cosmopolite captures who we've become: citizens of the world who understand what it means to thrive across borders, and who are uniquely positioned to help others do the same.
Cosmopolite was founded in 2022 by Ivan Liashenko, who brings a decade of experience across management consulting (Civitta, McKinsey), venture capital (Flyer One Ventures), finance (EBRD), operations (DataGroup), and digital technology (Genesis Tech). His work spanning Europe, Africa, and beyond gave him firsthand understanding of global talent mobility challenges.
We launched under the brand name KOSMO, initially serving clients from within our personal professional network.
Throughout 2022-2025, we built our track record and achieved significant milestones. Through word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied clients, our reach expanded organically beyond our initial network. We developed comprehensive service offerings across both US and UK immigration pathways (US O-1, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW; UK Global Talent Visa, Innovator Founder Visa), introduced various case support formats, and launched our PR Boost service. Each new offering strengthened our expertise and delivered proven results.
In 2025, we rebranded to Cosmopolite (CSMPLT for short) – choosing a more direct and bold name that reflects our proven track record and evolved identity. We continue expanding our team, refining our service formats, and enhancing our product offerings while maintaining our sharp focus on the digital technology sector and highly qualified individuals with world-class achievements and talent.
Our professionals dedicate significantly more hands-on time to your case, ensuring stronger strategies and better results.
We maintain multiple layers of internal review and quality control at every stage, with at least two senior professionals independently reviewing and challenging each component, while at least one team member works exclusively on your case full-time, dedicating 100% focus and attention.
Stay informed with real-time chat communication and regular call syncs, eliminating the frustrating "radio silence" and delayed email responses typical of traditional firms.
There's no secret: more people contributing more work and acting more proactively ensures your project moves much faster than with typical firms
We're open to partnerships with communities, ecosystems, professional organizations, and government bodies.
We welcome conversations with tech ecosystem leaders and immigration professionals who share our vision.
