I think it is important to remember that there are many of us on HN that are not very good developers (i.e. inexperienced), but we do have connections in the US (and business experience). I know that I, personally, would be able to mutually help people with talent in situations you describe. Slightly off-topic sidenote: I live in Boulder, and would give up a room in my house for free for the right person involved in Techstars, if that would help. The trade-off would be help me learn to be a better programmer.
