Hi Peter! How suited do you think the TN visa is for joining early stage startups? I feel like being in that space can involve switching companies more often than usual because of the failure risk. Is it risky to apply for a TN visa each time? Say you change jobs at most once a year.

Unless you have an ownership interest in the startup or are a founder, I don't see any risk with getting a TN through a startup and even changing TN companies every year.

  What about if you are a founder with a minority stake? Would you recommend some other form of visa?

    Less of an issue but CBP and USCIS will oftentimes deny TN petitions where the applicant has any ownership interest even though this is legally indefensible.
