Are you a US citizen, or did you have to sort out work visas to make it happen?
- pkrumins 15y agoWent on a B1 visa "to raise investment for StackVM", which took 15 minutes to get.
- loevborg 15y agoAs a fellow EU citizen, I'm interested in this. Could you elaborate? Are you able to found or work at a start up in the U.S. with only a temporary visa?
- pclark 15y agoYou're allowed to found a company in the US - just not work for it nor be paid by it. The B1 is a 3-6 month visa, most people just use the visa waiver program.
- StavrosK 15y agoSurely you can get paid by your own company? Do you mean you can't become an employee for it?
- fabiandesimone 15y agoPlease do elaborate on this
- pkrumins 15y agoYou can't do that with temporary visa. That's why I have my awesome co-founder James Halliday, who's US citizen. :)
- loevborg 15y agoThanks for the reply. So I guess the plan is at some point to get a work visa with the help of your own company. Best of luck for your endeavours!
