In the past you've said that investors need to be able to see startup founders face to face (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6850199 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6850199), so how will arrangements work out with this batch? Are the founders going to be traveling back and forth to see you guys? Are you going to encourage them to try to relocate here? (but obviously that'll be difficult, you're one of the voices in the FWD.us initiative so you know that, will you encourage them to try to relocate in spite of that?).
- pg 13y agoWe ask all the startups we fund to come to SV Jan through March. Whether they stay afterward depends on whether they want to, and whether the government lets them. Some are making things for their local market (e.g. Glio, in the last batch), and for those it makes sense to go back to their home countries afterward even if they can get US visas.
