Green Card Fund (greencardfund.com) is a United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) recognized EB-5 Regional Center authorized to raise foreign capital for domestic development projects. GCF’s EB-5 investor’s help fund community needs projects and are granted an immigration benefit for creating jobs based on their contribution. To date, GCF projects have contributed over $125 million in foreign direct investment, immigration benefits to over 250 families, and over 2,500 new healthcare, education, and hospitality jobs in Arizona and Washington, DC.
NewGen Advisory (newgenadv.com) is a full service commercial real estate brokerage firm that specializes in hospitality assets. NewGen Advisory was a natural evolution of NewGen Worldwide’s business model with Girish and business partner Dan Rama’s lifetime experience in the hospitality industry. Having grown up an immigrant in his family’s hotel business, Girish learned business firsthand from a “bottom-up” perspective. Before he became an investor, lender, and consultant, Girish first learned every operational aspect of the underlying business. That ground-level experience through multiple economic cycles is the foundation for Girish’s 20+ years as a successful business owner and provides a unique insight and value to NGA clients and investors.
Coupled with his belief in continued learning and mentoring, Girish devotes a growing amount of time to giving back to the community. Girish established & oversees the RC Patel Memorial Scholarship for students from seeking a career in real estate investments. Girish also serves on the board of directors of Global Ties Arizona which strengthens relationships between individuals and nations by making international exchange programs more effective.
