Mobile Pathways, an AI tech nonprofit startup providing assistance for underserved immigrants in the U.S., raised $1 million eary stage funding to advance its AI-based technology platform Pathfinder.
The funding round was led by key partners like GitLab Foundation, Firedoll Foundation, AlleyCorp, and Fast Forward, and it will transform the way immigration attorneys and advocates manage complex immigration cases.
Specifically, the new funding will drive advancements in Pathfinder, a groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) tool that automates immigration status alerts, centralizes vital legal information, and provides data-driven insights. Ultimately, this initiative will break down barriers for asylum seekers by improving access to justice while opening up better employment opportunities.
The number of asylum seekers seeking relief in the United States has tripled since 2022, and Mobile Pathways’ recent data underscores the urgent need for legal support.
“We understand that AI is a powerful, yet complex tool—one that requires expertise, care, and thoughtful guidance to truly make an impact,” said Florencia Herra Vega, Partner at AlleyCorp and CEO of AlleyCorp Nord, its Montreal-based engineering arm. “Pathfinder represents what is possible when innovation meets purpose. We proudly support Mobile Pathways in scaling this transformative technology to empower underserved immigrant communities.”
