    Today on TechCrunch’s ⁠Equity⁠ podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis was joined by ⁠Jeremy Neufeld⁠, the Director of Immigration Policy at the Institute for Progress, to break down what the recent H-1B change means for startups, founders, and the future of tech talent in America. 

    Watch the full episode for more about: 

    • The massive loophole that lets 80% of H-1B applicants skip the $100,000 fee entirely 
    • Why the new wage system could give more visa slots to experienced acupuncturists than fresh AI PhD grads making $200K 
    • Why universities and national labs are stuck in limbo, knowing they have to pay but not knowing how 

    Equity is TechCrunch’s flagship podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, and posts every Wednesday and Friday.
