I didn't attempt to raise money in England, instead I just moved my startup from Sheffield to San Francisco. It was 6 months of work, but way easier than trying to get funded in the North.
- thegeezer3 16y agoat what stage was your startup when you moved and how easy/difficult is the visa process for British going to America?
- olivercameron 16y agoPretty early, but it had good profits. That's what the US Embassy likes to see most (other than the fact you're going to hire Americans).
- kmfrk 16y agoHow did you get a visa?
- olivercameron 16y agoFeel free to email me for more details (in my profile). Basically, I hired an immigration lawyer and created a hugely detailed business plan.
- chrisjsmith 16y agoPlease everyone stay in the UK. We need more startups outside London - it's crowded and not a good place to work. I attempted to get a startup going in Nottingham (we could have been salesforce!) in about '02 but managed to fluff it up miserably thanks to my inexperience.
