Inaugural cohort · 8 families · June 2026
We move 7- and 8-figure founder families from the U.S. to Uruguay in 90 days. Residency filed. Apartment furnished. Business uninterrupted.
Built by a founder who just did this — with his wife and his two-year-old.
We are a Uruguay specialist. Not a fifteen-country menu. Not a generic ‘second passport’ pitch.
Founders come to us for one of two reasons.
You're not sure what the next five years look like at home. You're not predicting anything in particular — you just want a real option, fully prepared, ready to activate. Not a passport you bought and forgot in a drawer. A working second base, with residency filed, your CPA briefed, your apartment in a country you've already visited.
You're tired of the noise. You want a quieter main base — somewhere the news doesn't dominate the dinner table, where your kids can grow up trilingual without trying, where Sunday is genuinely a slower day. You're not running from anything. You're choosing where you build the next decade.
Both reasons are valid. Neither requires a strong political opinion. The point is having the option, structured cleanly, before you need it.
The cost of moving early is paperwork. The cost of moving late is everything.
I came to the U.S. on H-1B in 2022. Built a 7-figure business with my partner. Had a son in Arizona. Bought a house in Wisconsin.
Then I ran the numbers. The 10-year tax delta between Wisconsin and Uruguay was meaningful — well into seven figures for the kind of exit my partner and I are building toward. The delta on raising my son in a country where the worst news on TV is a soccer match was unmeasurable. So in early 2026, I sold the house, let the H-1B expire, and moved my wife and our two-year-old to Montevideo.
The move took nine months and probably nine years off my life. Not because Uruguay is hard — Uruguay is one of the best-run small countries in the world. Because moving is hard. Spanish I didn't speak. Vendors who quoted one number and invoiced another. A tax sequence I didn't fully understand until month six.
When I landed, ten U.S. founders messaged me asking how I did it. So I built the thing I wish I'd been able to buy.
Ninety days from your signature to your family on the ground in Montevideo, residency filed, apartment furnished, kids enrolled, business uninterrupted. You make decisions. We execute.
Not a salesperson. Free. By the end I tell you one of three things: yes and we should do it; yes Uruguay but you're six months early; or no this isn't right and here's what might be.
Tax sequence. Neighborhood selection. School shortlist. Banking partner. 90-day timeline. Yours to keep regardless of whether you sign with us.
Top-tier immigration firm. Document prep, translations, follow-ups. Your cédula (national ID) issued during the 90-day window. Full permanent residency follows in 6–8 months. Family of two included.
Pre-move planning. Entity structure, GILTI, FEIE, distribution timing, exit-event sequencing. The single highest-leverage line in the package — and the one most relocation services skip entirely.
They open your bank account. Register your healthcare. Enroll your kids. Get your driver's license. Negotiate with the electric company, the broker, the woman at DGI who asks for one more form.
You never make a Spanish-language phone call.
We pick the neighborhood — Pocitos, Carrasco, or Punta Carretas — based on your family. Negotiate the lease in Spanish. Handle the deposit. Furnish it for six months. You walk into a finished home.
Your first weekend in country, my wife and I host you. Asado at our place. Walk through Pocitos. Intros to other relocated founders. The five things I wish someone had told me on day one.
24/7 WhatsApp support for six months. One thread. Your EA, me, the team. Anything that comes up.
Permanent access to the Founder Network — private Slack of relocated U.S. founders, twice-yearly in-person dinners. You don't lose access at month six.
A standby package that gets your full Plan B prepared and on the shelf. Or the full ninety-day move. The first credits toward the second whenever you're ready.
For founders who haven't decided yet but want everything ready for when they do.
A trigger workshop.
We map exactly what would activate your move — political event, regulatory change, family or business trigger. The list is yours and we hold a copy.
Your custom 20-page Move Plan.
The same plan you would get in The Move. Tax sequence, neighborhood selection, school shortlist, banking partner, 90-day timeline.
Documents prepared and held.
Apostilles, translations, financial records, residency-application packet. The 8–10 weeks of paperwork done before you need it.
Two hours with our CPA partner.
Pre-move tax-structure analysis. Hybrid US LLC + Uruguay subsidiary, sequencing, what changes the day you trigger.
12 months of WhatsApp concierge.
"What does this news mean for me?" "Should I trigger?" One thread, the team on the other side. Renewable.
Founder Network access. Permanent.
The private Slack of US-to-Uruguay relocated founders. Twice-yearly in-person dinners. You meet the cohort before you decide.
When you decide to go, the $10,000 credits 100% toward The Move. Your 90-day clock starts the day you say go. No re-onboarding, no second discovery — the work is already done.
For founders ready to land in Montevideo this quarter.
Each additional dependent: $3,500. Standard pricing rises to $45,000 in Q4 2026.
Everything in The Hedge.
Trigger work, plan, documents, CPA hours, concierge, Founder Network — all rolled in.
Full Uruguay residency filing.
Top-tier immigration firm. Document prep, translations, follow-ups, your cédula issued during the 90-day window. Family of two included.
Apartment sourced, leased, furnished.
We pick the neighborhood, negotiate the lease in Spanish, handle the deposit, furnish it for six months. You walk into a finished home.
Dedicated Spanish-speaking EA — 6 months embedded.
One EA holds the rope for the entire move. Banking, healthcare, schools, driver’s license, every queue and form. You never make a Spanish-language phone call.
Founder onboarding weekend with my family.
First weekend on the ground, my wife and I host you. Asado, neighborhood walkthrough, intros to other relocated founders.
24/7 WhatsApp support — 6 months.
One thread. Your EA, me, the team. Anything that comes up.
Inaugural cohort price. Eight families, June 2026. Standard pricing $45,000 from Q4 2026 — no retroactive grandfathering.
Government fees, security deposits, and recoverable costs (rental deposits, furniture deposits) are disclosed up-front in writing and billed at-cost. Zero markup. Zero surprises.
The Hedge is one payment at signing. The Move is three:
Contract signed; EA assigned within 5 business days.
You and your family are in Montevideo and your residency is filed at the immigration office.
Residency approved, apartment fully set up, everything operational.
Free. No follow-up pressure. If we're not a fit, you walk away with a clearer plan than you had before.
Uruguay approves U.S. citizens with clean records and demonstrable income at high rates. We confirm fit before signing. If we sign and your residency is denied, we refund the immigration leg in full.
Residency filed at immigration and apartment keys in your hand within 90 days of signature. Tiered on miss (assuming you’ve supplied requested documents on the agreed schedule):
If you arrive in Montevideo and within 90 days decide it's wrong, we manage your exit at cost. Your Uruguay residency stays valid. The relationships and infrastructure are portable.
We turn down as many prospects as we accept. The discovery call exists to make that mutual.

We are not the cheapest. We are not the broadest. We are the Uruguay specialist who got it right.
The EA is the entire product. One Spanish-speaking EA can hold ten active relocations at the level we require — eight is the number where they have slack to be excellent. We will not break this ratio.
The inaugural cohort opens June 1, 2026. Founder pricing of $30K is for these eight. Standard pricing of $45K begins Q4 2026 and does not retroactively apply.
If you've read this far, the rational move is to book the discovery call now.
Uruguay wins on the combination: tax (11-year holiday on foreign passive income via the physical-presence path), lived safety (no cartel or political violence; quiet residential neighborhoods), time zone (US-overlap), language (Spanish — the most accessible second language for English speakers), and reasonable connectivity to the U.S. East Coast. Portugal lost its NHR program. Mexico's safety profile depends heavily on the state. Panama's institutions are weaker. Dubai is a 14-hour flight in a different language and climate.
The cédula (provisional residency ID) is issued before full residency is approved. You can live, lease, bank, work, and travel on the provisional. Full permanent residency takes 6–8 months. Our 90-day milestone is "filed and operational," not "fully permanent."
Uruguay approves U.S. citizens with clean records and demonstrable income at high rates. We confirm fit before signing. If we sign and you’re denied, we refund the immigration leg in full.
Your U.S. tax obligations don't disappear when you leave. FEIE has limits. GILTI on your CFC is a separate problem. Foreign-source vs U.S.-source rules are not intuitive — and the wrong answer is expensive. Sequencing your move alongside your business structure is the highest-stakes part of the relocation. That's why our package includes a vetted CPA partner.
Yes. We help you structure it correctly for cross-border operation — entity choice, where employees sit, how you take income, place-of-effective-management exposure, when (or whether) to move the entity itself.
Yes. We handle the paperwork — health certificates, USDA endorsement, Uruguay import permits, airline coordination. Most pets fly in cabin or as accompanied baggage.
British School of Montevideo, Uruguayan American School, Lycée Français, plus strong bilingual private schools. Capacity is tight; sign 3+ months before your target start date. Kids who arrive young come out trilingual.
Almost certainly not. Most clients keep U.S. citizenship and add Uruguay residency in parallel.
You move somewhere else. Uruguay residency is one of the easiest in the world to maintain. Some clients use Uruguay as a base while spending summers in Europe, weeks in the U.S., or wherever life takes them.
Yes. Same package, different family.
Not yet. Uruguay only. We may add Portugal in 2027.
You have a passport. You have a business that travels. You have a family that follows you because you've earned that trust.
What you don't have is the 90-day mechanism to execute the move you've already decided to make — or to put on the shelf, fully prepared, until you do.
That's what we built.
Your origin is not your destiny. The map is editable.
By the end of the call you will know:
