Don't forget, it was 5am in central Europe (or 4am GMT) when this was posted. I'm reading this over breakfast right now, and polls on this site have showed that (not terribly surprisingly) Europe has the most HN (active?) users after North America. (not that most of us actually located in Europe can contribute to this call for action anyway) I hope some of the startup stories submitted there will be posted publicly - I've been trying to dig up information on this on the web in between frantic development of our proof-of-concept, but there's little useful information I could find. It seems that everyone who has done it and written about it has found some special loophole or trick that happened to apply to their specific set of circumstances. A startup visa is certainly something that I would benefit from; the current situation seems pretty kafkaesque, and moving to the valley would probably give our startup a massive boost. I guess we'll have to find our loophole - for us there's no point waiting for politics to make things better. (after all, if that was a promising approach we wouldn't be trying to move to the US)
