Bethany Quinn
Bethany is a campaigner and social entrepreneur at heart. When she’s not helping Americans GTFO or figure out how to build up their businesses abroad, she’s mulling how to build centers of resistance in places of relative safety. She is a business strategy nerd with training in trauma-informed design and a passion for moving the needle on diversity in venture capital and entrepreneurship. She also recently joined the first AtVenture Angel investor cohort.
She moved to the Netherlands on the DAFT visa in December 2022, where she met her Dutch partner, Robin. (She is now on a partnership visa, FWIW.) They live in a beautiful, green part of Amsterdam, a block or two from a metro, a giant park/nature preserve, two playgrounds, and a grocery store. She is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, and is a queer foodie who loves cooking, travel, and karaoke.
Bethany has an M.B.A. from Johns Hopkins University with a focus on entrepreneurship and finance and a B.A. from the University of Miami with a major in Latin American Studies. She is the quintessential global citizen, having studied abroad in Panama, Brazil, and Chile. Before relocating to the Netherlands, she worked for a union on legislation and corporate campaigns, working on everything from the Affordable Care Act to immigration reform to private equity firm engagement. She was also a founding board member of Resolve Network, a peace-building organization in Eastern Congo that runs microfinance, agricultural training, and other programs. She was the founding Chief Operating Officer at media company Rediscovering Our American Dream, and is a member of Mensa (or as she calls it, “brunch with smart people.”).

Jana is a “Leaving Fascism Doula” who got the f*ck out of Texas in January 2025 before the beginning of the second Trump dystopia. She’s a former nominee for US Congress, who repurposed her campaign Facebook page on November 6th to help Americans scrambling to figure out how to emigrate abroad. Through her social media platforms, she conducts regular calls with experts on visas, passports, living abroad and other topics helpful for her tens of thousands of followers.
As a coach and consultant, she has been advising senior executives and academics for years and is now helping those who want to leave the US. She is a former journalist and once ran a pan-European public relations agency with partners. She has a BA in political science from Rice University and speaks Dutch well enough to get by. She lives in Haarlem, the Netherlands, with her Dutch husband and two rescue dogs.
