Lauren Cohen joins us in the lab to experiment immigration and international investing — as an international lawyer and cross-border expert. Lauren’s personal experience with her then-husband’s deportation launched her flight into investing across borders, using real estate as a tool to help investors legally migrate to the United States..
In this journey, Lauren has become the president and founder of e-Council Global where she helps entrepreneurs from all over the world expand their companies globally through international investment. She’s also the founder of Find My Silver Lining, a 501(c)(3) organization that offers strategic guidance in business matters for working parents and mompreneurs.
