Our Story
Sharing our experience, so you don’t have to go through it alone.
Expat Launcher was founded in 2017 by Tamie Arietta from San Diego, California, USA and Janis Reinholtz from Nuremberg, Germany. We decided to launch our company in the hopes that no other expat would have to go through the immigration process alone.
Sharing our Knowledge
As an American expat herself, Tamie has been through the permit application and relocation process.
Beginning a new life in a foregin country didn’t end with acquiring her permit or securing work. Tamie had to learn to adjust to a new culture, learn a new language, navigate a completely new legal and health care system, secure employment and overall adjust to a new life.
After having jumped through dozens of bureaucratic hoops, she founded two companies on foreign soil. Now, Tamie loves to help other expats land on their feet in Germany through Expat Launcher and its sister company Speakeasy Language Academy, which supports language teachers in their pursuits. Together with her partner Janis, who is trained in law and as a health insurance broker, they bring together their combined years of knowledge and experience to successfully support their clients in their transition to Germany.
