SwipeAbroad
Mission: SwipeAbroad is building a smarter path to global relocation. With AI at its core, we simplify complex decisions like choosing a destination, budgeting for a move, or navigating visa rules into an intuitive, personalized journey. Our mission: to make cross-border opportunity accessible to everyone.
SwipeAI is the intelligent layer behind SwipeAbroad. It combines real-time data, country comparisons, visa regulations, cost-of-living analysis, and user intent to guide students and professionals through complex relocation decisions. Whether you're wondering "Can I afford to study in Germany?" or "Which country suits my goals best?", SwipeAI turns uncertainty into clarity one conversation at a time. Currently prototyping in Germany, it's designed to learn, adapt, and support users globally.
SwipeAbroad was born out of lived experience. As immigrants who each navigated the confusing path to Germany, we know the system from both sides: its hopes and its hurdles. Arzhang spent years guiding hundreds of others through relocation, watching students and professionals struggle with scattered information, misleading agencies, and overwhelming decisions. Hadi, a fellow immigrant, faced his own share of challenges in breaking into the German tech and career landscape.
What brought us together is a shared mission: to fix what's broken in global mobility. Arzhang brings deep insight into the human journey: its emotional, educational, and practical realities. Hadi brings the technical muscle to turn that understanding into a powerful product. Together, we're building the platform we both wish had existed when we started out: one that makes relocating smarter, safer, and genuinely empowering.
SwipeAbroad is more than a startup. It's our way of giving others the clarity and confidence we had to fight hard to find.
Arzhang is a seasoned project strategist, educator, and migration coach with over a decade of experience supporting international students and professionals relocating to Germany. With a PhD and a background in both academic and tech environments, he brings systems thinking, cross-cultural insight, and a human-first approach to every aspect of SwipeAbroad.
Hadi is a full-stack developer with a sharp eye for solving real-world problems through technology. Having faced his own challenges breaking into the German job market, he is deeply passionate about creating tools that lower the barrier to entry for others. Hadi leads the technical development of SwipeAI and ensures the platform is scalable, reliable, and user-friendly from day one.
Together, they combine lived experience with technical excellence (one focused on people, the other on product) to build a platform that truly understands what it takes to move abroad.
At SwipeAbroad, we believe that access to opportunity should not depend on where you were born, how much money you have, or who you know. We're building a platform that's fair, transparent, and focused on real people, not just forms, fees, or systems.
We value:
