America has been a land of opportunity for many, but most immigrants find their way in life around the States a bit difficult. Even though they can work and believe they can contribute to society, much of the products and services put forth for them are inadequate, miscalculated, and unrepresentative. This is where Welcome Tech jumps in: the company committed to building a future for immigration with complete solutions for immigrants and equipping them with what they need to succeed.

Welcome Technologies is in the business of understanding that immigrants have a resolve to conquer uncertainty and build a life full of possibility. The company further marries the breadth of its offerings with the depth of experience in building a trusted, community-powered solution tailored to their needs. This approach helps not only the immigrant but also encourages all Americans to share in the success of integrating immigrants into their cultural fabric.

Finally, Welcome Tech enables the potential of immigrants to strengthen society through delivering the services and support needed by millions to confidently settle in a new country. Its flagship platform, SABEResPODER, was designed to respond to just about any day-in-and-day-out practical need with which immigrants-whether due to language or cultural barriers-might be confronted in the United States.

SABEResPODER, Welcome Tech’s community platform offers a range of services and tools: language classes, cultural orientation, and access to top-rated services. With more than 4 million Latinos who can genuinely rely on the website as a source of trusted information, education, and service, SABEResPODER has been the guiding portal for immigrants' questions seeking answers and leadership.

Values of empathy, purpose, courage, trust, innovation, and honor are placed within Welcome Tech. It guides them in their mission to understand the needs of immigrants through changing and building a better society. How these values are plugged into the company is shown by its engagement to the quality of service and resources given out to its members.

One of the broad areas in which Welcome Tech provides support is in healthcare. This health and wellness program, named PODERsalud, offers hassle-free and reasonably priced medical services across the country, with discounts on dental care, prescription medications, and a host of other health-related expenses. With PODERsalud, members can have in-person and on-demand virtual consultations, besides saving money on various health services.

Welcome Tech is committed to creating a world with more approachable and hassle-free healthcare, while being on a simple pricing model that ensures considerable value and savings for its members. It is focused on allowing members to take responsibility for their health and well-being, no matter their situation.
