Smit Patel

Clearway Advisory was born from years of successfully opening and operating a wide range of businesses across various industries. Smit Patel recognized a recurring gap: entrepreneurs have the vision, but often lack the integrated support to handle Visa complexities, AI infrastructure, and strategic exits simultaneously.

Today, Clearway serves as the "all-in-one" partner for investors and domestic founders, providing a boutique experience that treats your business as if it were our own.
