Company profile
researched Aug 2026Imera, operating as With Imera Inc., is a New York-based technology company building software for U.S. immigration processes. It runs two connected lines of product. The consumer side is a mobile application, "Imera: Your Immigration Guide," which maps a user's visa journey on a personalized timeline, compares work, study and founder visa categories with "must-have" and "nice-to-have" task lists, sends notifications ahead of critical deadlines, and provides one-tap access to vetted partner services such as bank account opening, renting without a credit score and legal support. The app includes an AI assistant, "Ask Era," that answers immigration questions on demand. The app supports users located inside the United States and is free to download.
The business-facing product positions Imera as a single system of record for compliance, recruiting and operations teams managing international workforces, replacing spreadsheet- and email-based workflows. Stated problems it targets include visa deadlines kept in personal calendars, documents scattered across inboxes, shared drives and chat threads, lack of visibility into pipeline status before start dates are at risk, and employees without a self-serve path through their next steps. Reported enterprise positioning frames the offering as helping companies that support global workforces improve employee retention.
Imera states it is not affiliated with any government agency and is not a law firm, and that its guidance is informational rather than legal advice; it links users to official USCIS, U.S. Department of State, CBP, DHS Study in the States and HealthCare.gov resources.
Founding story
Imera was founded in 2024 by Liesel Vaidya, who serves as CEO, and Victoria (Vicka) Ter-Ovanesyan. Both are described as immigrants who encountered difficulties navigating U.S. visas as international students and professionals, and the company was built around the observation that resources for visa holders are fragmented. Vaidya, originally from Kathmandu, Nepal, previously served as CTO of a digital health startup that built products for survivors of sexual assault. The consumer product is described as built by immigrants, for immigrants.
Business model
Imera combines a free consumer mobile application with an enterprise offering sold to companies that employ international workers. The consumer app is free to download and routes users to vetted third-party partners for banking, housing, healthcare and legal services; the business product is presented as a system of record for compliance, recruiting and operations teams, marketed through requested demos.
The consumer application is offered free to download and explore. Partner services are accessed through Imera's vetted partnerships, and the company separately markets enterprise solutions to employers supporting global workforces.
Traction
The Android application has recorded 500+ downloads on Google Play. The company was reported to have approximately nine employees as of 2025 and to be expanding its partnerships and user base.
Latest developments
The company's website carries a 2025 copyright and promotes its workforce-facing system of record with demo requests. Its founder appeared on the Foreign Founders podcast in May 2025 discussing the platform's community building, partnerships and future plans.

Market position
Imera positions itself as a centralizing platform for the fragmented information and services facing visa holders in the United States, addressing a population described as over one million international students and skilled professionals entering the country annually, while also serving employers that manage those workers.
Imera bundles personalized, visa-specific guidance with pre-vetted partner services and an always-available AI assistant, and covers both the individual immigrant and the employer managing an international workforce. It distinguishes itself from legal providers by explicitly not acting as a law firm or offering legal advice, and states its partner access can yield over $1,000 in potential savings per user.
Technology
An AI-driven mobile platform providing personalized visa roadmaps, smart timelines and checklists, deadline notifications, and an AI assistant called "Ask Era" that answers immigration questions around the clock. The app collects location and personal information among other data types, encrypts data in transit, and supports user-requested data deletion.
