Startup Visa: More Startups. More Jobs.
- iamelgringo 16y agoVotizen is doing something awesome. They are setting up a platform for people to be able to tweet or text their support of a political issue, and if you're a registered voter, those tweets and IM's get hand delivered to your representative and senators. Their first big push is about the startup visa. I feel strongly about this because of all the amazing startups I see at Hackers & Founders struggle with visa issues. We'd love your support.
- jbooth 16y agoGreat issue for the first push, too, this is one that pretty much all of the technerati agree on. Good luck.
- bigwally 16y agoSorry to be cynical but nothing is going to happen while Hillary Clinton is secretary of state.
- iamelgringo 16y agoDo you think we can get a couple thousand founders to promote the issue via Votizen? Nothing is going to happen if US citizens who care about the issue don't speak up for their expat founder friends.
- aberman 16y agoAgreed, gringo. If nothing is going to happen, I'm still going to make a ton of noise about it.
- iamelgringo 16y ago:) Besides, the Startup Visa is such a great hack.
