Below is the text and the context that I want to convey to Gino. Hey Gino, hope you and the family are doing great! Gino Jr. and the little princess must be keeping you full of joy and busy haha. Just wanted to quickly check if you and Vijay managed to connect on the Poland requirement (the 10 headcount)? Really hoping we lock that down for the team. Also mate, I wanted to give you an honest update on the immigration/visa side so we have full clarity. I did a deep dive into the IND regulations with respect to the Nuffic evaluation. Turns out the Dutch IND strictly reserves that €3,300 reduced salary criterion for graduates from Global Top-200 universities. Since my university isn't in that specific bracket, the IND will legally require our sponsor contract to reflect the standard Highly Skilled Migrant baseline of €5,942 gross/month. I know when we spoke on the 23rd we discussed €3,300, and as an entrepreneur, I completely understand that jumping on paper to €5,942 is a bigger commitment for you and the co-founders. Because I am 1000% committed to building this with you and making you proud, here is how I want to structure it so there is zero financial risk for you: Bare Baseline Only: Absolutely zero bonuses, no commission demands, and no extra perks in Year 1. Just the statutory baseline IND requires on the contract. Self-Funding: You've already seen the pipeline I bring—just the Poland deal alone at 10 heads covers over half of that baseline. My focus on day 1 in the Netherlands is to bring enough retained margin so I pay for myself completely. Zero Relocation Burden: I will personally take care of all my relocation costs, flights, and living expenses. You don't have to spend a cent on my move. Hard Performance & Probation Clauses: We put a standard Dutch probation period in the contract, plus a strict commercial KPI clause for Year 1. If I don't hit the agreed retained client numbers to justify the seat, you have zero obligation to renew after Year 1. Bro, this is my dream, but more than that, I want to be an asset that makes you and your partners serious money across your businesses.

This plan focuses on three key areas: reconnecting with stakeholders in Poland to confirm their demand for a 10-headcount need, clarifying the IND salary structure while reducing financial risks, and aligning performance metrics with client retention and self-funding strategies. The approach includes establishing measurable KPIs during the Dutch probation period and ensuring a commitment to profitable growth.
