How is your lack of geographical knowledge relevant to any of this?
- koakuma-chan 1y ago> How is your lack of geographical knowledge relevant to any of this? It doesn't matter where the country is located on the map. If you happen to be a citizen of a developing country, your opportunities are extremely limited, and that is why I'm curious how he managed to get into the US and make a startup out of something that doesn't make sense to be one.
- notpushkin 1y agoDid he get into the US before or after getting into YC?
- prmoustache 1y agoHow is all of this relevant or even interesting? Do people in the US still think that people living abroad are playing with rocks and sticks all day when they are not hunting for food?
- notpushkin 1y agoIt isn’t – I was trying to make the same point basically. (I’m not in the US, though I haven’t started a $5M company yet, either.)
