  This is essentially the point of the visa, it feels wrong especially as YC drops standards and increases cohort sizes, but the same power laws that keep them winning also apply here in maximizing economic value of each O-1 approval Basically of all visas O-1 is virtually guaranteed to have highly positive economic value

    It's not the point of the visa, the O-1 is supposed to be for people of extraordinary ability, eg Nobel Prize winners. It's used for software engineers.

      No, not just Nobel Prize winners. Look it up.
