Founder
Haven founder
Yanyan built Haven after experiencing two H-1B layoffs firsthand and seeing how difficult it can be to build a life in the United States while navigating immigration uncertainty.
Those experiences made one thing clear: the hardest part is not just finding information. It is staying proactive, making time-sensitive decisions with incomplete visibility, and navigating a system with no shared source of truth.
“I built Haven because I couldn't find one place that told me what to do next — not just what the rules were, but what my specific next step was, given my situation, my employer, and my deadline.”
