Hey! Never meant to state that all these founders came here on an H1B; just used that in the website name given what's been going on recently.

- dgellow 6y agoThat's very misleading...
- akadeb 6y agoIt's as misleading as mindgeek.com. It has nothing to do with minds or geeks but a website that focusses primarily on internet pornography. OP found a domain that fits the current political atmosphere for better SEO and went with it. Sure it helps to add a note on the website that these aren't all founders who came into the country on an H-1B.
- dgellow 6y agoNot sure what's your point. Yes, other websites have misleading or deceptive names. mindgeek.com maybe tries to hide their activities, I don't know the company or the website, but if that's the case it's a different situation. Something named H1B Valley that lists names of company founders in the US makes it sound as if the H1B visa is what allowed them to come to the US, or even what allowed them to create their company. That's misleading if done by mistake, deceptive if intentional. They will surely have more traffic thanks to this, that doesn't change the fact that it feels deceptive and somewhat wrong to then learn that it is not in fact about H1B visa.
- akadeb 6y agoRight, I agree with that
- OzzyB 6y ago> Never meant to state that all these founders came here on an H1B The URL is literally `h1bvalley.com` how can you honestly state that you "never meant to state" this? I get the intent and desire to celebrate successful immigrants in the States but this conflation isn't helping the cause.
